    He has a very light light feather body (Athletes dream), If he puts some more explosiveness (not size) behind those legs (Hamstrings, hips), work on more leg speed turnover (He arm swings are already perfect and unique) and so mobility work (Flexible tension). He can literally fly if he does that (You know what I mean)!!

      Randy Zhen he's 5'8 or 5'9. A lot of great sprinters have been short. In recent times Usain Bolt, Powell and Gatlin have all made sprinting look like a tall man's sport. Generally short sprinters are excellent accelerators while tall sprinters finish well.
