i really recommend this book, it has a lot of practical advice for cutting time off the 40, the section on starts is worth 40 bucks alone.

Do I remember correctly in saying that you don't have a choice in terms of the weight training you do?
NO! Beef up your upper body! People constantly underestimate the role the upper body plays in a sprint! How fast would you run without arms? Keep truckin with the legs, and build a powerful, tight swing (shoulders). It will balance you and give you more power than you realize.

Well, I wouldn't be squatting 3 times a week in season, but that's no reason to ditch heavy squatting altogether.
Carrying too much muscle shouldn't be that much of a concern, but if you've got fat slowing you down then its worth considering doing something about that.
Listen to whatever spatts and IronLion say, without a doubt

250 and a 28 inch waist. Well we know its not fat holding you back.
I remember back when i played lacross we did a lot of explosion exercises for our legs to help speed. If my memory holds me true, Hamstrings are best trained with alot of explosion exercises.
