Why do elite 100 metre sprint athletes ‘huff and puff’ at the end of their event when sprinting
relies predominantly on anaerobic metabolism?

Yes.
The whole of a 100m race is run predominantly with the anaerobic systems in control. For an elite athlete it takes about 10 seconds to run which isn't sufficient time to get inhale sufficient oxygen levels thus they are forced to get their energy production without oxygen. As a result there is a large build up of fatiguing by products at the end of the race.
To remove these products athletes need oxygen in greater levels then normal resting rate, thus they are huffing and puffing.
