Steeple Chasers

One of the tougher track Disciplines is the Steeple Chase events for this you need to be very fit and strong. The water jump is possibly the best place for an action shot as you get splashing and sometimes the occasional summersault or the Athlete who lands wrong and falls backwards to get completely soaked. Today was very warm and the water jump would have been quite refreshing. This is a Southland Athlete coming out of the Water Jump for the last time on his way top winning the U18 Athletics canterbury 2000m Steeple Chase Championship.
