Problem Child
I think his taper ended in 2020. Almost 21 months ago. Dad never came back and told us how his kid did.
He doesn't have much time. Besides not overdoing things and getting injured there's not a ton of fitness improvements that can be made in four weeks. And he needs to taper a little the last week. Might help to lose 5-7 pounds. That's doable in a month. Like a fighter or wrestler trying to make weight. Maybe talk to some guys on the wrestling team. Running with 5% less weight might make him faster enough.

Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.
