-Cut the 2 mile runs out. Don't run before your weights.
-Find a coach or someone to analyse your sprinting form.
-Do some plyometric training. (split squat jumps, tuck jumps, standing long jumps, medicine ball throws, depth jumps, clap pushups etc)
-focus on increasing stride length
-increase stride frequency
-most sprinters focus on 10,20, and 40metre sprints and won't actually run 100m until a race (i'm not sure what distance you perform but break the distance into pieces)
-have the body leaning forwards, the second your trunk becomes upright you stop accelerating and then you are slowing down

1.5x bodyweight? Seems far to low for me. for a 180lbs person, thats only 270lbs.. I would think any decent sprinter would be able to get to near that within a few weeks. I would shoot for higher then that.
