    Crashing on the hurdles....









    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Nice sequence Julie. I really feel for that young lady I've seen this happen far too many times at high school meets. They can be very nasty falls.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Nice sequence for you, not the runner. I hope she was ok.... But it is a good catch, celar and crisp.

    From my perspective, it doesn't look like she has been taught the proper technique. Which is cool I can see this because of your well put together sequence of photos.
    Good job as always, was your son competing in this meet?

    Thank you!

    My son was competing in this meet. He throws shot & is doing really well this year. He's already qualified for league so that's exciting.

    Thanks again for asking about my little guy.

    Re: Crashing on the hurdles....

    Nice series of pics - I feel the pain and the humiliation.

    Did the girl in light blue clear her okay?

    Re: Crashing on the hurdles....

    not anywhere near the rght technique, but the fact that she is carrying a baton to.... we had hurdle relays in HS but they simply added the times together. looks like 400 (300?) meter hurdles from the height to (although im use to college mens height).

    pics are great, bring me back a couple years and make me want to go run hurdles again.

    Re: Crashing on the hurdles....

    Thanks BFiredup. My daughter is the one in the red black and white going over the hurdle. She is just an 8th grader so I think she has some potential. She also does Volleyball Dance and softball so I am getting a lot of opportunities to practice with my camera...as well as drive her around.

    She has a softball scrimmage this weekend (weather permitting) so I am going to try and get picture like deckcadet of her pitching.
