THE
SPLIT
THAT
LEVELS
THE
FIELD.

EqualSplit started as a high school project in Oak Park, CA, and turned into something we actually believe in. Two student athletes who wanted better data, taught themselves the hardware, and built it. Now tested on real tracks, endorsed by an Olympic gold medalist, and getting better every week.

"Mad scientists. Inspirational."
— Hunter Woodhall, Olympic Gold Medalist, Paris 2024

Our Journey

FROM ZERO TO PRODUCT

Early sketches and ideas for EqualSplit
Early 2026
The Idea

It started with a frustration. We were student athletes who knew what good timing data could do, and watched our school make do without it. So we started sketching. What would it actually take to build our own?

First prototype build
First Build
Proof of Concept

We taught ourselves everything: microcontrollers, LiDAR sensors, wireless communication. The first prototype was rough, but it worked. A real split time on a real track. That was enough to know we were onto something.

LiDAR Timing Gate

Custom PCB, refined firmware, a purpose-built 3D-printed enclosure. Two timing modes. 100m+ wireless range. Everything a coach needs, at a price any program can afford.

Versatile. You can use it at any distance, with any athlete. It's reliable — and easy to use.

What We Stand For

OUR MISSION

01
Access Over Privilege

Talent has no zip code. The tools to develop it shouldn't either. Every athlete deserves objective data, not just the ones at well-funded programs. That's the whole reason we built this.

02
Built by Athletes

We're student athletes from Oak Park who understood the problem firsthand. Every design decision comes from real coaches, real training, and real feedback from the track.

Support the Mission

DONATE

Every dollar goes directly toward putting free timing gates in the hands of schools and programs that can't afford them.
