What to look for in 2016-2017
ECCTC had a great 2015-2016 year. Allyria (HJ) and Sophie (60, LJ) were All-Americans at the AAU Indoor Championships. Lailah was an 8th place medalist at the AAU Junior Olympics, We had many personal bests, records set, and awesome performances.
Well, on September 19th, we will start with fall training once again. Join East Cobb Cheetahs for the fall conditioning season and/or rev up for the Indoor Track season. We hope to see you in Cheetahs Blue. Go CheetahsNation!! Lailah Brought Some Hardware Home
Humble, TX - The 2016 AAU Junior Olympics at Humble High School was a scorcher, literally! The temperature every day was upwards of 92 degrees, but when you and the humidity we were over 108 degrees daily. The competition was just as hot. Lailah entered into the games seeded in 9th position, that alone is nerve-wracking. So many things running through her head along with the heat, but she refused to come home empty handed.
Her 1st throw was a sector foul, hitting the cage. Her 2nd throw was on 91', not bad, but not good enough to advance to the finals. Before she made her 3rd attempt, Coach L called her to the side. "This is the show, you are in the hunt, relax and be the thrower you and I both know you are." On her 3rd attempt, she took a deep breathe and let it fly, 101' later we are heading to the podium. This is Lailah's 3rd Junior Olympic Games. She's been a medalist for the last 3 years. Now she's heading to Campbell High School. In the 2016 track season Campbell was in 6A Division. Her 101' throw places her in the top 10. Can this upcoming freshman upset some upper classmen in 2017. Stay tuned! On The Road to Humble, Texas
The year is winding down to a close. We just completed the 2016 AAU Club National Championships and we had some ups and downs. Now on to the final Show-Down. We will hit the road for the 2016 AAU Junior Olympics on July 30th. Since this is an Olympic year our sights are set really high. Competing in the AAU Junior Olympics will be Allyria in the Pentathlon, HJ, 400M and 4 x 400 relay, Kya, Tyanna, and Yvohna will complete the 4 x 400 relay. Lailah will shoot for the moon in the shot put, javelin, and discus. In the discus she is a 2x All-American, placing 6th in 2014 and 2015. Zoie is the underdog in the shot put and turbo javelin, she's been shocking people all summer, and she picked up a spot in the 11G pentathlon.
James went to Orlando and added the 13B 800M and he had to work hard to get it. Add the 1500M that he qualified in at Region 8, he is more than ready. Bringing up the rear is Zyler. He's been going head-to-head with some of the best 13B throwers this year, and he refuses to be kicked to the curb. He has upset quite a few veterans. Small but mighty is what we like to say when it comes to East Cobb Cheetahs. On August 1st, wear your Cheetah shirts with pride, as you rep CHEETAHNATION!
