This looks like WAY to much volume for someone who seems to be a beginner in the weight room and on the track.
I always recommend WS4SB because, Joe DeFranco has everything set out for you from exercise selection to set/rep schemes.
Here is a link to the program

The only way you’re going to get better at sprinting is sprinting.
I would suggest to the OP, to do WS4SB and include sprinting on Saturdays or Sundays, basic stuff, such as starting off the blocks and moving your way up to 35-40 meters. 3 sets of 5 for an all out sprint of 30 meters or something like that.
If you can get a drag sled use that also.
To the OP, what are you goals? Weight gain, strength increase, speed increase?
The more info you provide, the easier it is to help you out.
