You may be able to.: You may be able to still be a sprinter, but you have to be sure you recover, with rest, exercises to strengthen the muscles around the calf muscle as well as that muscle, and good medical therapy, like surgery to be sure it is reattached. You then have to be judicious about practicing to be able to compete.
