Now that I may have consistent access to a computer I want to begin a new series examining the best universities in the country in an event that they do well. I call it the BEST OF series. Today I want to examine one of my favorite events, the short hurdles. The short hurdles is the sprint version of the hurdle race, for women 100 meter hurdles and men 110 meter hurdles. It is hard to pin point the best university in the country at the event because our country does such a phenomenal job with hurdlers. So lets examine the top 5 schools on each side and why.
THE BEST 100 METER HURDLE PROGRAMS (WOMEN)



3. University of Miami (FL)- This program has become one of the best at this event in the past couple years. Tierra Brown, Takecia and Tameka Jameson makes for a phenomenal group. Brown is a early pre-season favorite to win the 60 meter indoor title. All three have the potential to be sub 13.2 hurdles and Brown returns as the runner up from the indoor season. The Canes return Deandra Doyley and Brittney Clarke to assist Brown and the Jameson twins. Also recruit Nicole Cummings should not only add depth in the hurdles but the jumps as well. The Hurricanes will have a very deep hurdle core entering this coming season and will need to this group to perform well in order to compete in the ACC which looks to be the best conference for the 100 hurdles.
