Silvers
Cheetahs Rank in Region 3 B’s Top Ten!
The Savannah-Chatham Silver Cheetahs may be few in
number compared to other teams, but
their quality is what catapulted them into an
overall ninth (9) place ranking at the 2008 AAU
Region 3 B Championships. Approximately 1300
athletes represented by 56 teams traveled to
Fairburn, Georgia for the competition held at Our
Lady of Mercy Catholic School. Only the top four
finalists in each category advanced to the 2008
Junior Olympics, to be hosted in Detroit, Michigan,
July 25 – August 2nd. The Silver Cheetahs
had 26 athletes in the competition, while other
teams had 50, 75 and even 100 athletes. Still, in
spite of the larger team competitors’ in attendance,
most of them were no match for the Silver Cheetahs.
It is quite an accomplishment to outrank forty-nine
(49) teams within the Georgia-South Carolina region.
It just goes to show the athletes’ commitment to a
job well done. The Silver Cheetahs earned fifteen
(15) gold medals, eight (8) silver medals, six (6)
bronze medals and six (6) fourth place finishes.
The Silver Cheetahs was founded in 1991 by Ed Jinks
and Jerome White to groom young adults to their full
athletic potential within the sport of Track &
Field. It is the intention of the founders to give
athletes the best opportunities available for higher
education in additional to their academic
performance. The athletes compete within the Amateur
Athletic Union, traveling to locations as far north
as Detroit, Michigan and as far west as Des Moines,
Iowa. The Savannah-Chatham Silver Cheetahs also host
a county-wide youth invitational track & field meet
to expose the community at large to the sport of
track and field. This year’s event will commence on
Saturday, 7-12-08 at Savannah State University’s
Stadium.
The Silver Cheetahs compete year-round in
Cross-Country during the Fall, Indoor Track & Field
during the Winter and Outdoor Track & Field during
the Spring and Summer months. You can find them
practicing daily at Savannah State University,
running faster, throwing farther and jumping higher,
grooming the next Cheetah Champions. A complete list
of their results is attached. Run Cheetahs, RUN.
