Sprint Touch Down Times?

Yes I have a quick question for you guys,
Check it out. Say if Athlete A get his/her foot down .01 faster
than Athlete B for the first 23 steps and gets in 2 additional steps
up to 40m, and the Athlete who has the quicker steps is leading by 2 meters at 40m and wins by 7 meters over 100m.

How can one fix this problem.
