How about under 13 seconds for 110 meters while going over 42 inch hurdles?

I'd like to see Drew Stubbs take a season off and try.

Nope. My brother is the fastest person in the fam and ran a 10.6 100 in high school. Other than that we are all of average speed.

I used to be able to run a 11.7ish. Probably mid 12s now. No chance on the 110s though.

I couldn't clear a single 42 inch hurdle in 13 seconds. Let alone several.

never ran hurdles in track during high school, mostly because I threw shot put and discus. but my PR in the 100 was a 11.6, if you were to add in hurdles to the mix, I would fall flat on my face after the second one.

fab- your brother is one fast dude

pretty sure that was standard on the chatter, along with bench press records set daily.

I always wondered what a 110 hurdles time would equate to as a 100 time. Are these guys pretty close to the top 100 guys.

I've seen female 100m hurdlers run the open 100m before, not sure how often 110 men hurdlers try the 100m sprint.
I'll guess they are "close" until it comes to an Olympic level competitive field.

I ran a 11.3 in hs. I could probably be under 13 now but I dk lol. I was really good out of the blocks and I would always be in first for about 60-70 meters but then I would get passed at the end lol
