Track & Field Equipment

The Gill Cone Marker is a rugged, all-purpose marker that earns its keep at the track, on the field, and in the gym. Coaches use it to mark relay exchange zones and cut-in positions on the track, set up agility and drill stations, and lay out boundaries for practice — a simple, low-cost tool that brings structure and safety to any training session.

Key features & specs:

• Size: 6" cone height
• Color: High-visibility orange with black base
• Material: Durable, flexible PVC that bounces back after being stepped on
• Uses: Relay exchange zones, cut-in positions, agility drills, and field/gym markings
• Model: Gill TA9756

Coach's tip: Buy cones in quantity and keep a set in a mesh bag so a full drill layout is always ready to go. The flexible PVC shrugs off being stepped on — just stack and store them out of prolonged direct sun to keep the material from getting brittle over time.

The Fiber Sport Implement Carry Bag is purpose-built for safely transporting throws implements — javelins, discuses, and shot puts — to and from competition and practice. Designed with track and field programs in mind, it protects expensive implements from damage during transport and storage while keeping a coach's or thrower's equipment organized and competition-ready. For any school building out its throws inventory, it's a smart, practical investment that pays for itself by extending the life of far pricier gear.

Key features & specs:

• Purpose: Safe transport and storage for throws implements — javelins, discuses, and shot puts
• Construction: Durable build that stands up to the rigors of regular meet and practice use
• Organization: Keeps implements grouped together and easy to load, carry, and account for
• Best for: Track and field programs managing a full throws equipment set
• Model: Fiber Sport, SKU 1000009

Coach's tip: Wipe down implements and let them dry before bagging so moisture and grit don't sit against the equipment in storage. Store the loaded bag off the floor in a dry equipment room, and do a quick count after every meet so nothing gets left behind at the venue.

The Hosa CSS-105 is a 5-foot balanced 1/4" TRS interconnect cable built for clean, quiet audio connections in your facility's sound and PA systems. Its balanced design rejects noise over the run, making it a smart choice for linking mixers, powered speakers, and signal processors in gyms and event spaces where interference can otherwise creep into the signal — all at Hosa's trademark blend of quality and value.

Key features & specs:

• Connectors: Male 1/4" TRS to Male 1/4" TRS
• Type: Balanced for noise rejection and clean signal transfer
• Length: 5 feet — ideal for short, tidy runs between rack or tabletop gear
• Build: Durable construction trusted for touring and studio use
• Model: Hosa CSS-105

Setup tip: Use balanced TRS runs between balanced-capable gear to get the full noise-rejection benefit, and label both ends so signal routing stays clear in a busy rack. Store coiled loosely with an over-under wrap to prevent kinks and keep the connectors protected between events.

The Hosa CMM-110 is a dependable 10-foot 3.5mm interconnect cable that carries clean, reliable audio between the devices in your athletic facility's sound setup. Whether you're feeding a portable PA, a scoreboard sound system, or a coach's music source, Hosa cables deliver the durability and clear performance that hold up to daily use in gyms, on pool decks, and at outdoor venues — without the premium price tag.

Key features & specs:

• Connectors: Male 3.5mm (1/8") to Male 3.5mm (1/8")
• Type: Balanced construction for clean signal transfer
• Length: 10 feet — room to route between devices without strain
• Build: Durable construction designed for touring and everyday use
• Model: Hosa CMM-110

Setup tip: Route cable away from power lines and foot traffic, and leave a little slack to avoid stressing the connectors. Coil loosely using an over-under wrap for storage — tight kinks shorten cable life — and keep a spare on hand so a bad cable never sidelines your sound system on game day.

The ST1 Sports USB to Serial Adapter is the simple fix for connecting modern laptops to the serial-port equipment still common in athletic timing, scoreboard, and control systems. Many computers no longer include a built-in serial port, and this converter bridges that gap — plug it into any available USB port and gain a standard RS-232 serial connection for the gear your program already relies on.

Key features & specs:

• Function: Converts a USB port to a standard RS-232 serial connection
• Use case: Ideal for laptops and computers that lack a built-in serial port
• Applications: Connect timing systems, scoreboards, and other serial-based athletic equipment
• Compatibility: Works with standard USB ports; no internal serial card required
• Model: ST1 SKU 1000004

Setup tip: Install any required driver for your operating system, then confirm the assigned COM port in your device settings before connecting your equipment. Keep the adapter with your timing kit and store it in a padded case so the connectors stay clean and undamaged between events.

The Ultrak 495-100 Lap Memory Stopwatch is a coach's workhorse for timing practices, meets, and interval sessions where you need to capture and review a full set of splits. Its 100-lap dual-split recallable memory and large three-row display let you time an entire heat or workout, then scroll back through every split without losing the running clock — ideal for track, swimming, and any program that trains by the numbers.

Key features & specs:

• Memory: 100 dual-split recallable memory; recall splits during operation
• Timing: Measures up to ten hours; stroke/frequency function for rowing and swimming
• Display: Large three-row display with continuous event-time readout
• Extras: Time and calendar; water-resistant construction
• Power: Lithium battery included; five-year warranty

Coach's tip: Clear the memory before each session so your split bank starts clean and every recall lines up with the current workout. Keep it on its lanyard, rinse off sweat and dirt, and store dry to protect the buttons and display between uses.

The Gill Essentials High Jump Standards deliver the durable, competition-legal construction athletic directors expect at a value price. Built for high school and college programs, they set up quickly, roll easily into position, and read heights in both English and metric — everything a coach needs to run clean, efficient jump sessions at practice or on meet day.

Key features & specs:

• Construction: All-steel with a durable black powder-coat finish
• Base: 18" square base with built-in wheels for easy mobility
• Height scale: Reads both English and metric, from 2' to 8'
• Compliance: Meets High School and NCAA specifications
• Warranty: Five-year warranty; model GP-700

Coach's tip: Set standards on a firm, level surface and confirm both crossbar supports read the same height before each jump to keep the bar true. Wipe down after wet meets and store indoors to protect the powder coat and keep the rolling bases turning freely for years.

The Gill Portable Discus Platform gives throws programs a regulation practice and competition surface that can be set up, moved, and stored without a permanent concrete installation. Its portable, interlocking design is ideal for schools that share facilities or need to clear the throwing area for other events — roll it into place for practice, then break it down and store it out of the weather when you're done.

Key features & specs:

• Overall dimensions: 10' x 10' x 2"
• Construction: Two layers of ¾" plywood topped with a ½" track-surface layer
• Sections: Two 5' x 10' interlocking halves with spring-loaded handles for easy handling and storage
• Finish: Gray marine paint with a textured inner-ring surface for sure footing
• Model: GP-3770

Coach's tip: Set the platform on level, well-drained ground and confirm the interlocking sections are fully seated before every session. Store indoors or under cover between uses — keeping the marine finish out of standing water protects the textured throwing surface and extends its life.

The Ultrak T-5 is a silent vibrating timer built for situations where a beeping stopwatch would be a distraction. Instead of an audible alert, it can buzz discreetly when time is up — making it a favorite of swim officials, coaches running timed intervals, and teachers proctoring exams. A user-selectable mode lets you switch between silent vibration and an audible beep depending on the setting, so one timer covers the pool deck, the classroom, and the practice field.

Key features & specs

• Silent vibration alert, or user-selectable audible beep
• Counts up or down for up to 100 hours
• Large, easy-to-read 1/3" digits with built-in memory
• Protective slide cover prevents accidental stops and starts
• Back clip for hands-free wear; battery operated (battery included)

Best for: swim and track officials, coaches, and classroom timing. Usage tip: clip it on and use vibrate mode for discreet pacing cues during competition. Care: keep the slide cover closed when not in use and replace the battery promptly when the display dims.

The Blazer Deluxe Fiberglass Pole Vault Crossbar is the company's finest bar — engineered to deliver the consistent feel and competition-legal performance that vaulters and meet directors rely on. Its round, one-piece fiberglass construction uses double matte pultruded winding for a bar that's exceptionally lightweight yet resists the flex and warp that throw off a vault. The result is a true, predictable crossbar that sits cleanly on the standards and holds its shape season after season.

Key features & specs

• Round, one-piece fiberglass construction — one of the lightest on the market
• Double matte pultruded build with wound fiberglass fibers for strength and consistency
• Meets Collegiate, International, and High School Federation specifications
• Length: 14'10"; weight approximately 8 lbs
• Available individually or as a money-saving set of 3

Note: ships freight only; inspect for visible and concealed damage before accepting delivery, as crossbars are not guaranteed against breakage. Best for: high school and collegiate pole vault programs. Care: store horizontally on supports at multiple points to prevent bowing between uses.

The Gill Measuring Tape Kit gives meet officials and coaches the full set of tapes needed to run a track and field meet from a single box. Built around the lengths used most often across throwing and jumping events, it keeps measurement fast, accurate, and consistent — so officials can clear marks and move athletes through quickly. Every tape starts with the zero line right at the beginning, eliminating guesswork and offset errors at the take-off board or throwing circle.

Key features & specs

• Includes 4 of the most commonly used tapes: one #988 (300'/90m), two #985 (100'/30m), and one #984 (50'/15m)
• Zero line positioned at the start of each tape for quick, error-free reads
• Durable epoxy-coated steel construction built for repeated outdoor meet use
• Covers the range needed for shot, discus, javelin, long jump, triple jump, and relays

Best for: high school and collegiate track programs and meet-management crews. Usage tip: assign the two 100' tapes to jumps and the 300' to throws to keep multiple events measuring at once. Care: wipe down and dry fully before reeling in to prevent rust and keep the coating intact.
