My name is Julia Dickman and I am excited for my fourth season with the Cheetahs, second season as the head coach. I am a 2022 Graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University where I obtained my bachelor’s in exercise science and psychology. I was a member of the women’s track and field and soccer teams all four years. During my time on the track team at OWU I was 12x all-conference, 4x DIII all-Ohio, and had one team conference championship. I was also awarded the Top 10 athlete award at OWU my senior year which is awarded to student athletes that display exceptional athletic and academic performance as well as leadership and community involvement. 

I grew up in Marysville, OH where I graduated from Marysville High School in 2018. I was a 4 year varsity soccer player and 3 year varsity track athlete. I went on to break the 1600 meter relay school record which is still held to this day. Wanting to give back to the program that developed me, I have been the girls sprint coach at Marysville since 2023. 

I am currently in the occupational therapy assistant program at Zane State College where I will graduate in May of 2026. I am a proud cat mom and have since hung up the sprint spikes and picked up the running shoes training for my second half marathon. 

My name is Jessie Kremeier, and I am looking forward to my fourth summer coaching the Cheetahs. I have helped coached the 10 and under age group as well as long jumpers in the past. I currently live in Dublin with my husband and our three children. We have a 16-year-old daughter at Jerome, a 13-year-old son at Grizzell and a 10-year-old son at Deer Run. Both of my sons have competed for the Cheetahs. They enjoy trying out different field events and competing in the meets.

I was recruited as a high jumper out of high school and competed at Vanderbilt my freshman year. I then transferred to Rhodes College where I played basketball and ran track competing as a sprinter/jumper/thrower.
