Athletics (Track and Field)

I'm New to this area of photography but what do professional photographers use in terms of equipment in this area of sports photography (athletics track and field)?

I use a 400mm for javelin, discus, hammer throw and the like in order to keep well out of the way. Also for track.. 70-200 for everything else and also for track

I use a 300 on a 7dII with a 70-200 on my shoulder but the 300 gets the most use
