About Eastside Steppers Track Club

Eastside Steppers was founded with a simple but powerful belief: when young athletes are trained with discipline, structure, and care, they rise—on the track and in life. What began as a small community program has grown into a nationally recognized track & field organization with more than 30 years of competitive excellence and athlete development.

  • Eastside Steppers Track Club was founded in 1994 with a vision that extended far beyond competition. From the beginning, the program was built to develop young athletes not only as competitors, but as confident, disciplined leaders prepared for success in all areas of life.

    For over 30 years, Eastside Steppers has served the Oklahoma City community by providing structured training, intentional mentorship, and a culture rooted in accountability and growth. What started as a local program has grown into a nationally recognized club, producing athletes who compete at regional, national, and collegiate levels.

    While medals and championships are part of our story, our greatest achievement is the impact we’ve had on generations of athletes—many of whom carry the lessons learned here far beyond the track.While medals and championships are part of our story, our greatest achievement is the impact we’ve had on generations of athletes—many of whom carry the lessons learned here far beyond the track.

  • At Eastside Steppers, our mission is to develop the whole athlete — disciplined, competitive, and confident. We believe true success is measured not only by performance, but by character, resilience, and leadership.
