At Topeka Elite Cheer, we are dedicated to building champions on and off the mat. As a woman-owned, family-operated program, we are passionate about developing not just strong athletes, but confident, disciplined, and well-rounded individuals.
Founded by sisters Taylor McKaig and Tateum Hughes, TEC began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to keep kids active and engaged through virtual cheer technique classes. In September 2020, we transitioned to small in-person sessions. We started our first competitive season in 2021-2022 with just 35 athletes. Today, we are proud to be home to over 250 athletes of all ages and skill levels and a total of 14 teams.
