Running race lost in 60yd hurtles?

Question

Last year i won the 60yd hurtles now this year i came in fourth all the girls were taller than me though and I want to beat them because the one who came in first kept bragging....

Can anyone tell me why i might have lost and also give me some speed and hurtle traning tips. Just to let you know i run cross country top runner too (not to brag just wanted to let you know so you would be able to give me a better answer).

Answer 1

It's easier for the taller girls...not much you can do if they out grew you...just keep practicing is all you can do...ask your coach what you can do to get faster

Answer 2

I run distance, but I've overheard enough to know that hurdeling is practically an art. You have to lose a minimum amount of momentum (no "stutter stepping"). The best hurdelers look like they just lenghten their stride a bit and go over. You could look up videos of the experts doing it and watch their form.
