Coach Woods brings a results-driven, athlete-first approach to track and field coaching, built on a simple philosophy: Standards. Work. Results. A former multi-event and pole vault athlete, Coach Woods competed through the collegiate level, developing a deep, firsthand understanding of the technical demands and training science behind track and field's most complex disciplines.
As head coach of the Whitney Wildcats track and field program, Coach Woods has developed athletes across every event area: sprints, hurdles, horizontal and vertical jumps, and middle distance. His programs blend proven training science with event-specific technical work, all built around periodized plans designed to peak athletes when championship season arrives.
With Wildcat Elite, he extends that same championship-level coaching into a club setting, giving committed athletes the structure, expertise, and competitive opportunities to develop year-round and reach their highest potential.
Sprints Coach at Whitney High School and a proud Whitney alumnus. As a Wildcat, Alana was a Team Captain for 2 years and competed for 4 years on Varsity in the 100, 200, 400, 800, 4x100, 4x400, and pole vault. She met varsity lettering standards in every event, earning 8 All-League titles and becoming a 7-time Section Champion.
Outside of track, Alana is a college professor of Communication Studies, teaching at Sierra College, Yuba College, American River College, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She brings the same teaching mindset to coaching by focusing on communication, confidence, preparation, and growth.
Her goal as a coach is to help athletes develop strong sprint mechanics, race confidence, and a positive team culture, believing success comes from consistency, effort, and learning to compete with purpose.
Throws Coach at Whitney High School and a proud Whitney graduate. During his time competing in high school, Chris was a two-time league champion and currently holds the WHS school records in Discus and Shot Put.
After high school, Chris competed for two years at American River College in Hammer Throw, Discus, and Shot Put. In his first year, he placed first, second, and fourth in the state, respectively, earning CCCAA State MVP.
His goal as a coach is to create an environment where athletes can grow both athletically and as people. Track and field offers great potential to open doors and create opportunities for young athletes, and Chris is here to use his knowledge and experience to guide them as far as they want to go in the sport.

Wildcat Elite Track Club is an independent year-round youth track and field club based in Rocklin, California. Founded in 2025, the club is now in its second year and expanding for the first time beyond Rocklin to welcome athletes from across the greater region.
We bring together athletes regardless of school affiliation and put them through programming designed by coaches with a deep understanding of sprint mechanics, jump development, distance methodology, and hurdle technique.
The club operates on a year-round model with a clear rhythm to the calendar:
Summer (June through July). Competitive season. AAU and USATF meet calendar.
Fall (August through November). Build phase. Foundation work, strength development, technical refinement.
Winter (December through January). Competitive season. Indoor and early outdoor meets.
Spring (February through May). Disperse phase. Athletes return to their scholastic programs to compete for their schools.
Athletes are free to punch in and out as their other sports demand. Football, basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, whatever the season calls for, go play. Come back when that season ends. The door is open. We exist to develop track and field athletes for the long haul, not to compete with the rest of an athlete's calendar.
Affiliations. Wildcat Elite TC is a sanctioned member club of both USA Track & Field (USATF) and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). A single sanctioning body membership (USATF or AAU, athlete's choice) is included with season dues. Athletes who wish to compete in events sanctioned by both organizations may purchase a second membership independently.
Train Hard. Compete Harder.
Every workout is built with a reason. Periodized programming. Event-specific technical work. No filler, no wasted reps.
We don't just train athletes, we prepare competitors. Race strategy, mental toughness, and execution under pressure.
This is a long-term investment in the athlete. Smart progression, injury prevention, and a foundation that pays off year after year.
