If you're stem is ahead, and you have a few spacers on top, just put them below - otherwise you could just flip the stem (need to remove the bars) and this brings the bars higher and closer.
If it's a quill stem, you'll just need to try raising it (but not beyond the maximum extension mark which is etched into the metal).
Definitely sounds like a stem height issue - even track riders who do longer events tend to have shallow drops set a bit higher.
