Minnesota Boys All-Decade Team: Hurdles


As we begin to wrap up looking at the past decade's top athletes, we turn to track's most technical events. In the past ten years, both state records in the hurdle events fell and some epic battles occurred between top athletes (who can forget the come-from-behind finish at the 2011 Class AA 300H finals, the closest of photo finishes in the 2014 Class A 300H finals, or the sprawling dive at the 2018 Class AA 110H finals?) Check out the members of the 10's All-Decade hurdle team for the boys!
