Track Meet Measuring Equipment

Gill's Fiberglass Measuring Tape gives track & field programs a dependable, long-life measuring solution for the throwing events and any layout task where cloth tapes fall short. The vinyl-coated fiberglass construction delivers high tensile strength and stays flexible in the field, so the tape won't kink, break, or lose its calibration even if it's twisted or stepped on during a busy meet.

Key features & specs:

• Vinyl-coated fiberglass blade with high tensile strength for years of reliable service
• More flexible and far more durable than traditional cloth tapes — resists kinking and breaking
• Dual English and Metric scales printed on the blade for fast reads in either unit
• Zero line located right at the end of the ring for accurate, repeatable measurements
• Closed-reel 50' (15m) format shown here; also available in open-reel 100' (30m), 165' (50m), 200' (60m), 300' (90m) and 330' (100m) lengths
• Officially approved for high school competition use

Coach's tip: Keep one tape dedicated to the throws sector so the zero ring stays clean and true. Care: Wipe the blade down after muddy or wet meets and let it air-dry fully before reeling it back in to prevent grit buildup inside the case.

Measure the throws and jumps with confidence using the Gill Steel Measuring Tape (330' / 100M, Open Reel). Built for the demands of track & field, this long-format steel tape delivers the accuracy officials need to record marks correctly across the shot, discus, javelin, hammer, and horizontal jumps.

Key features & specs:

• Long 330' / 100M length for full-field throws and jumps measurement
• Durable steel tape blade coated with an epoxy finish for wear resistance
• Zero line at the end of the ring for accurate, repeatable measurements
• Open-reel design for fast winding and payout
• Also offered in closed-reel 50' (15m) and 100' (30m) and open-reel 300' (90m) formats

Coach's tip: Keep the blade straight and taut along the ground when recording a mark, and wind the reel slowly to avoid kinks. Wipe the tape down and let it dry before reeling it in fully so the epoxy finish and blade stay in top condition.

The Keson Ultra-Glass Fiberglass Measuring Tape is built to take the daily abuse of field marking, long-jump and throws measurement, and facility layout without stretching or wearing out. Engineered with more than 42,000 fiberglass strands, it delivers greater tensile strength and superior accuracy when tension is applied — so the number you read is the number that's really there. The non-conductive fiberglass blade is a genuine safety feature too, with proven dielectric strength that protects users when measuring near electrical hazards.

Key features & specs:

• Fiberglass-reinforced blade with 42,000+ strands for durability
• Superior tensile strength and accuracy under tension
• Proven dielectric strength of 2000 V/M for user safety
• Printed to the EC Class 3 measurement standard
• Measures feet, inches, and eighths
• Hook attachment with a zero point at the tape end

Coach's tip: Apply steady, consistent tension when measuring jumps and throws so every mark is recorded to the same standard. Care: Wipe the blade clean and let it dry fully before reeling it in to prevent grit buildup, and store the reel out of direct sun to protect the printed markings.
