RUNOUT
Modeling World Class Sprinters in 100 Meter Dash

BRIEF ABSTRACT

The Hill-Keller differential equation model for runners is used to ascertain parameters for two world-class runners by fitting the solution to the differential equation to world record runs with split times. An issue is whether or not the model distinguishes the runner's abilities, or at least the runner's approach to the sprint.
