Gill Athletics

The Gill Collegiate Pole Vault Crossbar is the trusted bar for vault programs that demand consistency at every height. Engineered as a single piece of thick-walled pultruded fiberglass, it resists sag and delivers the durability that has made it a fixture at world-class competitions. That one-piece construction gives you a bar that reads true across the standards and holds up to the daily demands of a busy vault runway, so your athletes get fair, repeatable clearances in both training and competition.

Key features & specs:

• One-piece, thick-walled pultruded fiberglass for minimum sag and excellent durability
• Proven in many world-class competitions
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; World Athletics certified
• Note: as with all crossbars, not guaranteed against breakage

Coach's tip: Store the bar flat and fully supported along its length to prevent bowing, and always keep a backup bar ready since crossbars are not warrantied against breakage. Wipe down after wet meets and inspect for stress marks before championship competition to keep clearances fair and safe.

The Gill Collegiate High Jump Crossbar is the dependable, competition-grade bar that keeps your high jump event running smoothly from practice through championship meets. Built from durable thick-walled pultruded fiberglass, it holds a straight line with minimal sag across the standards, so heights read true and clearances are fair for every athlete. It's the confident choice for programs that need a bar tough enough for daily training yet precise enough for sanctioned competition.

Key features & specs:

• Durable thick-walled pultruded fiberglass rod for strength and consistency
• Minimal sag holds a true horizontal line between the standards
• Order in sets of three to help offset expensive freight costs on long items
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; World Athletics certified

Coach's tip: Keep a spare or two on hand — ordering sets of three spreads out shipping cost and keeps your event moving if a bar is damaged. Store crossbars flat and fully supported to prevent bowing, and wipe them down after wet or muddy meets to protect the finish and preserve their true line.

The Gill Stainless Steel Vault Box is the corrosion-resistant answer for programs in wet, humid, or coastal climates where a standard box would rust and fail early. Its stainless steel alloy fold-and-weld construction shrugs off moisture and repeated plant impact, giving you a plant zone that stays structurally true season after season. Paired with its matching stainless lid, it delivers a finished, level runway surface your vaulters can trust on every approach and plant. It's a premium, long-life investment for facilities that want to install once and forget it.

Key features & specs:

• Stainless steel alloy fold-and-weld box construction for maximum corrosion resistance
• Durable white powder-coat finish over the box
• Lid: 12-gauge 304 stainless steel plate with two angled vertical supports to prevent sag
• Lid: recessed design accommodates a 1/2" (12mm) track surface for a flush runway
• Lid intended for use with the stainless steel vault box; order box and lid separately
• Meets NFHS and NCAA specifications

Coach's tip: Match this box with its stainless lid for full corrosion protection, and rinse out sand and grit after wet meets. Even stainless benefits from a quick seasonal inspection of the welds and anchoring to keep your plant zone safe and true.

The Gill Aluminum Vault Box is the plant-box foundation your pole vault runway is built around, engineered to take the repeated impact of a planted pole meet after meet without deforming or working loose. Welded aluminum construction keeps it light enough to install and service without heavy equipment while standing up to years of outdoor competition, and the reinforced backstop absorbs the force of every plant to extend the box's service life. It's the confident, low-maintenance choice for programs that want a runway that measures true and performs consistently.

Key features & specs:

• Welded aluminum construction — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable for permanent outdoor installation
• Durable white powder-coated finish for visibility and weather protection
• Reinforced backstop absorbs plant impact for prolonged box life
• Vault box lid ordered separately in either Recessed (50201, for 1/2" / 12mm track surface) or Flush (50202, no added surface) design
• Lids compatible with all Gill vault boxes and reinforced with two 1/2" angled vertical supports to prevent sagging
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; World Athletics certified

Coach's tip: Order the matching lid to suit your surface — recessed for a finished track, flush for bare installations. Keep the box swept clear of grit and standing water between sessions, and inspect the backstop and anchoring each season to keep the plant zone true and safe.

Train the weight throw indoors while protecting your facility with the Gill Orbiter Indoor Throwing Weight. Its plastic-injection NBR collar cushions impact to reduce damage to floors and walls while allowing the smooth, uninhibited rotation athletes need to develop proper technique.

Keep your long jump and triple jump pit clean, dry and ready with the Gill Ballasted Sand Pit Cover. This mesh cover uses Gill's exclusive Vipol Matrix material to keep debris, leaves and animals out of the sand while letting air through, and its ballasted design holds the cover securely in place without stakes. A vinyl-wrapped galvanized steel chain perimeter weighs it down evenly, so it stays put through wind and weather and protects your pit between practices and meets.

Key features & specs

Protect your track surface from cleats, spikes and equipment traffic with the Gill Crossover Zone. Lighter and far easier to handle than heavy "conveyor belt rubber" systems, this protective mat shields your investment against steel-tipped cleats, shoes and equipment wheels wherever athletes and gear cross the track.

Key features & specs

• Lighter and easier to handle than conveyor-belt-rubber systems
• Protects against steel-tipped cleats, shoes and equipment wheels
• Rain drains through to prevent pooling
• Durable black geotextile with gold edging
