Louisiana’s fastest football hurdles at outdoor championships

Louisiana's outdoor track and field season wrapped up this month with three memorable days at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium.   The event featured a slew of record-setting performances and even more impressive showings by familiar multisport standouts — overlapping in both categories in some cases, such as Jesuit wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1356168' first='Ja'ir' last='Burks'] and his composite-record 110-meter hurdles — despite heavy rain disrupting the final two days.   As always, Prep Redzone Louisiana makes a point to spotlight the football-relevant performances during the spring seasons with track and field in particular providing notable glimpses at their mindsets, competitiveness and key metrics such as verified speed or additional glimpses at explosiveness or all-around athleticism.   Here's a look at the top times by student-athletes with known football backgrounds in the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles — including in some cases, such as Burks, some particularly notable prospects.     110-METER HURDLES (TOP FOOTBALL-RELEVANT TIMES)     <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>1.
