§ 02 — What We Coach

Sprints, hurdles, distance, jumps.

Cheetah’s coaching staff specializes in sprints, hurdles, distance, and jumps. We don’t coach throws at Cheetah — but we know who does.

Want to throw?

If your athlete competes in shot put, discus, or javelin, we can connect you with a local throws coach in the Oklahoma community. Email okcheetahtrack@gmail.com for a referral.

A note on relays

Relays don’t use qualifying times in the same way — they’re built around our roster each season. Once you’re a Cheetah and hitting the standard in your individual event, you’re in the conversation for relays.

Hit the standard. Run with us.

Already hit the time? Send us your verified result and start the registration process. Not there yet? Train with the developmental team while you chase it.
