I am NOT a track professional by any means, but from what I see you're not as explosive as you can be per the size of your frame. I'd suggest adding plyometric training to increase your speed. (YouTube plyometric sprint training) Another thing I notice is you do NOT have low heel recovery. Your first 4 steps, you're picking your heels way off the ground. That is time wasted for the next step to take. (YouTube Low Heel Recovery) I like this video for low heel recovery link to this video link to this video
