Steeplechase Equipment

Gill Athletics has greatly simplified the installation of steeplechase water jump reservoirs with its Functional-Form systems. The Functional-Form ensures installation precision that meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications, taking the guesswork out of one of the most demanding pieces of track construction and giving facilities a competition-legal water jump they can trust for years.

Key features & specs:

• Structure fabricated of specially folded 1/8" aluminum to maximize strength
• Engineered inner wall supports let concrete flow through and set evenly during installation
• Installed front-wall valve connects to an outgoing pipe to the drain source
• F600 Functional-Form (surface mount) is compatible with the model 740144 surface-mount water jump barrier
• F610 Functional-Form is designed with integrated ground sleeves and pairs with the model 740134 barrier
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications

Value packs: The Surface-Mount Package includes the F600 Water Jump Form plus the 740144 surface-mount barrier; the Ground-Sleeve Package includes the F610 Form with integrated ground sleeves plus the 740134 barrier.

Coach's tip: Confirm your barrier mount type (surface vs. ground sleeve) before ordering so the form and barrier match. Care: Keep the drain valve clear and flush the reservoir at season's end to prevent debris buildup.

The Gill 6' Training Barrier is the practical solution for programs that need steeplechase-specific training without the space, cost, or logistics of full-width competition barriers. At 6' wide, it fits comfortably on standard training tracks and indoor facilities while delivering the same beam construction and height adjustment system used in Gill's competition-certified full-width barriers — giving athletes the authentic barrier feel they need to develop proper steeplechase technique and water jump approach mechanics.

• • 5" x 5" Aluminum Beam with Synthetic Track Surface — The barrier beam is constructed from 5" x 5" square aluminum tubing wrapped in synthetic track material, matching the exact beam dimensions and surface texture of full competition steeplechase barriers — giving athletes the authentic footing feel for lead-leg plant and clearance technique that's critical for proper steeplechase form development
  • Three-Height Pull-Pin Adjustment — Base legs adjust to official competition heights of 30" (women's), 33" (intermediate), and 36" (men's) using a simple pull-pin mechanism that allows height changes in seconds without tools — making it fast to configure for different athlete groups and training scenarios during practice sessions
  • Same Materials as Competition Barriers — Built using identical materials and construction methods as Gill's full NCAA and World Athletics-certified competition steeplechase barriers, ensuring athletes train on the same beam feel, surface texture, and height geometry they will encounter during sanctioned meets
  • 6' Width for Training Environments — Compact 6-foot width fits standard training lanes, indoor facilities, and practice track configurations where full 16'5" competition barriers would be impractical — ideal for technique drills, approach work, and barrier clearance repetitions without requiring a dedicated steeplechase pit setup
  • Powder-Coated Durable Finish — Heavy-duty powder coat finish protects the aluminum base legs and frame hardware against rust, surface corrosion, and outdoor weathering through years of training use in all seasonal conditions without requiring refinishing or touch-up maintenance
  • Sold Individually — Wheel Insert Kit Available Separately — Barriers are sold as individual units for flexible quantity purchasing; optional wheel insert kits (74014050) are available separately to add foot-engaged drop-down wheels for easier repositioning between drill sets during practice

The Gill Steeplechase Barriers (Set of 4) equip a course with the sturdy, regulation hurdles distance runners clear throughout the steeplechase. Built with 5" x 5" square aluminum beams wrapped in synthetic track material, these barriers combine the immovable stability the event demands with corrosion-resistant, weatherproof construction. A pull-pin design on the base legs makes height adjustment fast, so one set covers multiple competition levels.

Key features & specs:

• 5" x 5" square aluminum barrier beam wrapped in synthetic track material
• Base legs with pull-pin design for quick height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Powder-coated for a durable, weather-resistant finish
• Meets NCAA specifications and is World Athletics certified
• Sold as a set of 4

Coach's tip: Set every barrier to the same height for the race distance and confirm the pins are locked before competition. Store the barriers under cover between seasons to protect the synthetic surface and preserve the powder-coat finish.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier provides the immovable hurdle that defines the water jump on a regulation steeplechase course. A pull-pin design makes height changes quick and simple, and the beam is finished with synthetic track material to match the running surface. This version includes ground sleeves for permanent in-ground installation and is compatible with Gill's F610 water jump form, giving programs a durable, certified-quality water jump barrier.

Key features & specs:

• Barrier beam is 4" x 4" square steel tubing wrapped in synthetic track material
• Pull-pin design for fast, tool-free height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Welded gusset adds strength and support to the beam
• Includes ground sleeves for in-ground install; compatible with the F610 water jump form
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; 5-year limited warranty

Coach's tip: Set both ends to the same height before competition and confirm the pins are fully seated. Aluminum or mesh barrier seals are sold separately; keep the sleeves clear of debris so the barrier drops in cleanly each season.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier Seal (Aluminum, SP configuration) is built for installations that call for a special profile at the water jump perimeter. Like the standard seal, it keeps the steeplechase water jump pit watertight, holding consistent depth for a safe, regulation competition surface for distance runners. The SP designation indicates a specialized configuration, so confirm compatibility with your specific water jump form before ordering.

Key features & specs:

• Aluminum construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• SP (special-profile) configuration for non-standard water jump installations
• Seals the pit perimeter to maintain proper water depth
• Engineered for permanent outdoor track facilities
• Withstands repeated freeze-thaw cycles and heavy meet use

Coach's tip: Contact ST1 Sports with your water jump form model to verify the SP profile matches your installation. Inspect and clear the seal each season, and drain the pit before winter to protect the aluminum through freeze-thaw cycles.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier Seal is constructed from aluminum and designed for permanent installation to keep the water jump pit watertight between competitions. Fitted at the perimeter of the steeplechase water jump, the seal stops water from seeping out so the pit holds its proper depth for a consistent, safe competition surface. It is a foundational component of any regulation steeplechase course that plans to hold water reliably from meet to meet.

Key features & specs:

• Aluminum construction for lasting corrosion resistance
• Designed for permanent installation at the water jump perimeter
• Seals the pit to maintain proper, consistent water depth
• Built to withstand years of outdoor use and freeze-thaw cycles
• Suited to high school and collegiate steeplechase facilities

Coach's tip: Inspect the seal at the start of each outdoor season for gaps or debris, and clear the perimeter before filling. Draining the pit for winter helps the aluminum and seal survive repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
