But I did go out, and coach asked what I did. And I said high hurdles. It was kind of something I did just for the heck of it. There wasn't anyone else on our team doing it, so I decided to give it a try. I learned some technique and before long I was halfway decent at it and stuck with it.
Hurdlers have to combine speed and technique to be successful in their demanding event.
Hurdles are an event where I could learn technique and compensate for that. I hope to get my form together. That's been a problem for me. I've been working on my speed a lot, but my form isn't where it should be. Kasik said he felt a bit sloppy at the Tempe Relays but was fast enough to shave one-hundredth of a second off of Heath Hewson's school record.
