Hosted by Steve Lynn, the Head Track Coach at Iowa State University, you see four athletes (two men and two women) demonstrate techniques specific to middle school, high school, and collegiate level athletes. The first of five sections is "Warm Up" where stretching, dynamic leg swings, and sprint drills are conducted. Next are "Hurdle Specifics" that includes 12 minutes of foundation drills and technique work. Discussions of "The Race" take up the next 13 minutes. Setting the blocks, starts, first hurdle approaches, and three step drills are all discussed. The fourth section covers "Developing Speed" for five minutes. The last three minutes before the closing of this tape focuses on the "Long Hurdle Races". Once released by Championship Productions.com, they discontinued all VHS format productions in 2007 and no longer sell this tape.
