Whatever it takes to get the shot...if you can get the access. I wonder how his shot turned out.
Personally I wouldn't have taken a postion that close up . . . the last thing I want to be is a distraction.
One of my techniques for hurdle shots is to wait for the 300 meter hurdles. Almost every track has banked turns . . . so I pick a spot downslope from a set of hurdles on the turn and either sit or lay prone and try to catch them as they come over the hurdle. It's almost the same as the guy in the picture but it is away from the action.

I'm here to learn so please feel free to give me constructive criticism to help me become the photographer I desire to be.
The shooter is a local newspaper photographer. A few of his shots were in the paper the next day, but not this one. So, I don't know how it came out.
