We had this discussion on another site. I personally have a big problem with this being called if there is no contact. Personal fouls involve contact. If there is no contact all you could have is unsportsmanlike conduct, which is not considered a foul under that part of the rules.

Also understand that the NCAA rules allow this when it clearly involves the runner. All the NF does is gives you a definition and a foul for hurdling but sets very poor perimeters to how and when this should be called. You should not have to here how to call this from the internet. This fact alone is going to allow different interpretations to be used.

Peace
