Letter from the Editor, November 2016
Letter from the Editor, November 2016 Hello readers, and welcome to the November 2016 edition of The Hurdle Magazine.

2006 World Cup
2006 World Cup One new thing I’ll start doing in this magazine is taking a look back at some of the more riveting races that have taken place in the hurdling events over the years. I’m going to start with a race that I rank as one of my favorite of all-time, the 2006 World...
