6. Pull the knees straight up, and do not allow them to angle towards the midline of the body. Run by striking the ground directly below the hips, particularly when accelerating. Run on the balls of the feet. Don’t be flat footed and noisy.
7. Finish: Just as it is good to start right , it is also important to finish well . Finish this is the last stage in the sprint race, it is the end of the race when the winner is known.
