 * The Hurdles Race**

Have you ever listened to a commentary or “race call” of a horse race or of a foot race in an athletics competition. What makes such a call different from all other broadcasts? If you are unfamiliar with race calls you might like to view the videotape of a prominent ASMS horse (ask your teacher for access details). Listen to the race commentator and establish the style of language, the content of their delivery and any other factors you may consider to be important.

The rough sketch graph shown below describes what happens when three athletes Ang, Bec and Chris enter a 400 metres hurdles race. Consider their motion and possible activity during the race.
