I was generally pretty good at the barriers relative to my flat 3k speed (40 second differential)
Stephanie Garcia's flat to steeple difference
= 9:19.48 - 8:52.74 = 26.74 seconds. Plus she's only 5' 6".

I think there's a lot more guys than girls here who have run a steeple in the range Garcia is trying to go (9:10-20)

Not as a woman you haven't. I'm pretty sure Garcia has been top twenty in the world or better, and you haven't been anywhere close to that.
Considering womens' barriers are 76.2cm, her height is not a factor. In fact she is taller than many of the worlds best female steeplers.
She needs to step away from racing the steeple until she figures out her issues.
I did the same. My college coach even told me to think of my steps when going to step up a curb when I was walking around campus- don't stutter step. I still do it now, 15 years later.

Trying basic math is way beyond you at this point, and Emma Coburn is 5' 8.
