I could track a running horse, a F16 and cars with a D700 and a old 80-400, the slowest AF I know. The problem is not tracking, but locking on the subject, but that can't be a problem with hurdles. Put the AF only on the back, focus on the hurdle you want to start tracking and wait till the runner is nearly there, push the af-on and when locked the shutterbutton and this will work 90% of the times.
I do this for hurdles most of the time, but for some reason yesterday I could not get the 180 to focus on the last hurdle or the one before it.
As for buying expensive glass, those days are over. The 200/2 I bought because I had two kids playing indoor sports-basketball and volleyball. I then added the 1.4TC and used it for softball mostly, but some MS track too. After the kids decided to play only outdoor sports I sold the 200/2 and eventually the 1.4TC.
I might look into the 300/4. I was curious about the lenses like the 18-200, 18-200, 28-300 and so on.
