Help on a iudgement call

Ok Im sitting here thinking about scoring situations and I came across this one,

A Robot in its own home stretch lifts its own trackball to the height of the overpass and pushes it onto the overpass. The robot then pushes the trackball over to the other side of the overpass. Is this still considered hurdling the trackball. As far as I know the rules to hurdling are that

1) the robot must be traveling in its own home stretch
2) be moving in the direction of the homestretch, or be elevating the trackball higher than the height of the overpass
3) be in possession of of a trackball

as far as possession goes, it states that the trackball must be controlling the movement and position of the trackball while it is supported or captured by the alliance

and according to the definitions involved the game manual the robot involved is not supporting the ball, but it is captured by the robot by the definition of captured being:

as per the GAME manual
A
TRACKBALL shall be considered “captured” by a ROBOT if, as the ROBOT moves or changes
orientation (e.g. backs up or spins in place), the TRACKBALL remains in approximately the same
position relative to the ROBOT.

Am I right to assume this can be considered hurdling or am I wrong?
