JV Coach

Coach Meeks has been part of Cherokee Trail since 2004, with a brief two-year break before returning in 2023. He currently teaches Geometry and Algebra 2 and brings over two decades of coaching experience to the program. Over his 24 years in high school athletics, he has coached boys and girls cross country, soccer, basketball, and swimming, and has spent more than 12 years as a head coach in girls soccer, girls lacrosse, girls swimming, and boys swimming. Growing up in New Mexico, he was a “gym rat,” playing four years of varsity basketball and three years of varsity golf. For Coach Meeks, Cherokee Trail is more than a school — it’s a community. Having taught, coached, and raised three CT graduates, he values the spirit that makes CT a special place. Excited by the pace and challenge of flag football, he joined the program to help athletes grow and compete at a high level. 

JV Coach

Coach Wichern is in his sixth year at Cherokee Trail, where he teaches AP Government and Politics as well as Concurrent Enrollment U.S. History. While new to high school athletics, he brings prior coaching experience from summer ice hockey camps and adult softball. As an athlete, he lettered in both football and wrestling during his sophomore and junior years before an injury cut his senior football season short, and he also competed in AA ice hockey outside of school. What Coach Wichern values most about Cherokee Trail is its family-like community. He is excited to be part of the flag football program, where he enjoys the wide-open style of the 7-on-7 passing game and the opportunity it gives students to have fun, compete, and grow together.
