Steeplechase water jump action at the World Veterans Championships of 1989 when women faced the same barrier height as men: 91.4 cm / 36 inches. "Veterans" competition attracts senior-age athletes, some of them grandparents. Their meets are now labeled "Masters" and the steeple height is now 76.2cm / 30 inches for female competitors plus men age 60 and older. (Photo by James Fields) |
