No it wont. Since you are doing track just a suggestion; cut back on the weight lifting and spend more time doing cardio (swimming,running,ect.),
this will improve your endurance thus allowing your circulatory system to transport oxygen to various parts of the body more efficiently.
Best of luck!

The answers above are correct. Weight lifting increases your blood vessels and increases blood flow.

Actually weight lifting helps you grow blood vessels.

Weightlifting does exactly the opposite of what you asked. When done properly, and in conjunction with cardio, weightlifting is a heart-healthy exercise.
