EAST COBB CHEETAHS

Zyler Johnson Signs to Purdue Fort Wayne

May 4, 2021 - The year 2020 will be a year we remember for many things. Track & field was shut down across the nation, and spring track season was cut short. But in 2021, athletes came back with vengeance. They worked harder than before to make up for the year they have missed. Zyler "Big Dawg" Johnson was one of those athletes.

State Championships in Georgia are 24-hours away. Zyler is at the head of his class, winning the Discus & Shot Put in Regions, and winning Discus & placed 3rd in Shot Put in Sectionals. Now, the weight of signing to him dream college where he will compete on the next level is a thing of the past. With no stress, what will "Big Dawg" do at State? Compete for the Gold!

T'ya Suber Signs to Bradley University

Osborne HS/East Cobb Cheetahs TC

April 2020 - T'ya Suber is no stranger to Track & Field, nor is she a stranger to East Cobb Cheetahs Track Club. When she first arrived to ECCTC, she was hesitant and very busy. But, when time permitted, she was totally committed.

We are excited that she will be attending Bradley University. She will be a great asset to the team. She has gained the confidence needed, in the 200m and 400m, to be a force in the sprints, and we are excited about her potential.

Jared Benain Signs to Mars
Hill University

Wheeler HS/East Cobb Cheetahs TC

April 2020 - Jared Benain began his Track & Field career the summer of 2018. Never having competed in before that summer, he qualified for the 2018 AAU Junior Olympics. Ever since then, he's been bitten by the Track & Field bug.

He started Indoor 2020, with a big jump of 45'7.75" at the Music City HS Indoor Invitational, placing second. He was excited and ready to grab spring & summer track by the horns. In other words, he was ready to make the "Big" jump. Even though COVID-19, shut the world down, Morris Hill University came calling. Adding long jump to his repertoire, jumping on in 1 meet over 21', Jared has proven to be an asset. Keep your eyes open as he enters the South Atlantic Conference.

Damilola Shodeinde Signs to Western Carolina

Wheeler HS/East Cobb Cheetahs TC

February 5, 2020 - As the reigning 2019 Region Champion, Damilola, simply known as Dami, will get the chance to show her stuff at Western Carolina University for the 2020-2021 Track & Field season.

Amidst all the bad news of COVID-19 currently, it feels good to report good news. Although high school Track & Field has come to a screeching hault, NCAA has cancelled spring season for collegiate runners, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have moved to 2021, we still celebrate Dami's accomplishment.

Countdown to Indoor Track Season

December 21, 2019, we begin our Indoor Track season at the Birmingham Crossplex. As we enter year 9, we are excited about what's to come for East Cobb Cheetahs. With many returning athletes and some new faces, we look forward to producing some great times individually and with our newly formed relays. Fall training began Sep. 23rd and our middle school clan is very focused and ready to continue where they left off last the spring and summer.

Got Young Athletes

Coaching is more than writing a workout. You find yourself playing the mother/father role in your young athlete's life. How many time have you said, "Skylar, please tie your shoe." Just for her to reply, "I don't know how." Well, ECCTC has been fortunate enough to find the best company on the planet for our little ones. U-Lace is provides laces in multi-colors, that you tie once and never tie again. Don't believe us, then visit U-Lace and see for yourself. Kassie (W7) love them!!
