Not in practice but in a game, match, race - whatever.
I was a runner so for me it was the steeplechase. I didn't run in college so never ran the 3000M version but I ran the mile steeplechase (yeah, I'm old) a few times in high school at the KU and WSU Relays. Loved the event and I was reasonably good at it but physically it was tough. Those barriers seem to get higher every lap and the water jump soaks your feet so you're running in sloppy wet spikes. Still my favorite track event to watch especially now that the American men and women have become so good at it. I don't think it gets run in Kansas high school nowadays though. Only the college facilities have the steeplechase water jump and barriers.
