using ratio of average hts of men women : 5'10/5'4, the women's hurdles shoud be
- 100h - 38.4" from 33"
- 400h - 32.9" frpm 30"
maye possible to estimate how times change with higher heights but it's fidgety ( as you'd expect )
An additional issue is that the women's hurdles are
disproportionally easier to clear than the men's (although possibly
not to the same degree as in the 100h/110h), which implies that the
ratio between the 400h and 400m WRs should be lower for the women's
events than for the men's. Exactly how much lower is unclear, but it
would not take much to drop even a Perec-based comparison below 52s

The sprint hurdle races (60 m, 100 m and 110 m) use high hurdles, which are 42 inches (1.07 m) high (39 inches, or 0.99 m, in U.S. high school competition) for men and 33 inches (.84 m) high for women. Long hurdle races (400 m) use intermediate hurdles, which are 36 inches (.914 m) high for men and 30 inches (.762 m) high for women
