An event in track. Either 100, or 300 meters in length, you have to jump over these thin bench style jumps, while sprinting your ass off. The boy's 100 hurdles are taller than an 8th grade boy. It takes serious skill to sprint, and then jump while holding perfect form. Not any ol' 200 runner can jump in and hurdle. Its a real skill and takes time and practice to perfect the form. One of the only respectable events in highschool track.
Everyone on the track team: "Did you see that 8th grader Cady kick ass at the 300 hurdles?"
Everyone in unison: "Fuck yeah. that kid has skills. she should be captain."
