Centralia Cheetahs Cross Country

10/25/2026

Great job to all runners today! It was a fun and hot meet and Shelby and I are so thankful that we were able to be apart of the cheetahs program this year. They are a great group of kiddos, and we thank you parents for bringing them to all of the practices and meets.
Per coach Watermann, it is not too early to think about next season. If you or anyone you know would he interested in coaching, please contact him as Shelby and I are unfortunately not able to come back. This can be a group parent effort if you are interested but worried about making all practices and don’t want to tackle it alone. 🙂

Please comment in this message if your runner is continuing on to regionals/nationals and we can create a small band group chat for workouts to be sent to.

More info from CMAC:
“No one can park on Gans Road. We won't even have to call the tow company... they will see it, and handle it. Only use the paved spots on the property, the grassy area across the street in Philips Park, the paved spots in Philips Park, or on-street parking on Bristol Lake Parkway. Don't forget to hang around for presentations of the top 10, the STAR awards, and team champions. Last year, plenty of people left too early and missed out on their earned award.

Here is the link to see race results.
