I'm 5-1 and not really that fast on my college team so I want to steeple since its a weaker event than the 1500 or 5k. The problem is I can barely get over the barriers. Would running in basketball shoes help my ups so I don't hit a barrier or anything? Unless I can run a good steeple I won't make my school's travel squad. Please help

You should go with waterproof hiking boots. They give you an extra few inches and your feet won't soak with water the entire race.
