KTCCCA Middle School State Championship hurdle spacing and height update from Frank Miklavcic
USATF and AAU have standardized the 13-14 age group hurdles spacing and heights.
For years we have been running middle school hurdles by old USATF standards of 30" hurdles with girls spacing being 8.0 meters and boys spacing being 8.5 meters which corresponds to the spacing (usually yellow marks) for high school girls spacing.
Going forward we will use the following:
1. Spacing for middle school 100 meter hurdles for both boys and girls will be 8.5 meters for both girls and boys (same spacing as high school girls 100 meter hurdles)
2. Girls 100 hurdle height 30" Boys 100 meter hurdle height 33"
3. Both girls and boys 300 hurdles are 30"
