The current world record holders at the 100m are Asafa Powell and Justin Gaitlin (pending review by the IAAF, due to Gaitlin's positive steroid test) with times of 9.77s. Yeah, both of them are black. I don't know about the long jump or the high jump.
Personally, I really could not care less whether the fastest runner, the longest jumper, or the highest jumper is black or whatever race. There are plenty of white people who are faster than another black person, and vice versa. For example, the fastest time for the 100m by a Caucasian is held by Patrick Johnson (his mother is Indigenous Australian, his father is Irish), and his best is 9.93s. I cannot imagine too many athletes of any race being able to beat that time..
In my humble opinion, by far the most important thing is that you try your hardest and leave everything you got on the track or field. After that, if all you can blame for your failures is your race, well, that's too bad..

PLEASE don't use such insightful words. Recognizing the obvious should not be considered racist.
However, notice all the guys and girls who do those particular events and you'll see they are all noticeably bulked up. Maybe it's because they spend more time in the gym. Or more time practicing the jumps. Who knows.
FYI: Races under a mile are won and lost more on upper body strength than on running ability. And racially speaking, it doesn't matter how we all got here, we all deal with our own abilities by becoming stronger and concentrating on our weaker abilities.

Some people say that hundreds of years ago, slave owners bred the biggest and strongest slaves to crete better workers in future generations. I happen to think that is a load of poo. I really think it is just all a question of focus and drive.... regardless of race.

i might be totally off, but i remember soemone saying that black people are faster because of their calves. Like they're shorter than say white peoples' calves? I'm not sure, i just remember hearing that.

That wasn't a racist question.
