Well, donovan Bailey ran the 100m in 9.84 seconds. that's 10.16 m/s. 36.59 km/h. However this is the average, not the top speed. He ran faster then that for part of his sprint and slower for other parts.
If we look at top speed as being the highest speed achievable rather than over a race distance we should look at the fastest 10 metre increments in the 100 race.
The top athletes are all around .83+ secs for several of the 10 metre segments. The very best can hit this speed a bit earlier in the race and/or hold on to it for a little longer but the top speeds are virtually the same at around 12mps .
That's 43.2 kph or 26.85 mph.
Usain Bolt probably touches 27 mph at some point

How did Usain Bolt rise to fame?

How does a 100m sprinter use the anaerobic system?
A 100m sprinter primarily relies on the anaerobic energy system, specifically the ATP-PCr (adenosine triphosphate-phosphocreatine) pathway, during the short, explosive duration of the race. This system provides immediate energy for high-intensity efforts lasting up to about 10 seconds, allowing the sprinter to accelerate rapidly and maintain peak speed. Since the 100m sprint is a high-intensity activity, it does not allow sufficient time for aerobic metabolism to contribute significantly. As a result, the sprinter's performance depends heavily on the rapid breakdown of stored energy in the muscles without the need for oxygen.
