The Setup

We've selected 16 boys based on combined hurdle times (100h, 300h), ranked them 1-16, placed them in a bracket of head-to-head matchups where your poll votes on the next page will determine who advances.

Parameters

Athletes included are from the period between 2010 and 2019. This is based solely on hurdling times. Hurdlers were selected based on top 100h/300h rankings within the decade, Their times had to have ranked them in the top 100 for each event. The final cut to 16 was based solely on their combined rankings.
