Cherry began college at Mississippi State University in 2009, and did not compete in the ncaa indoor championships until 2011 due to the title 9 rule which states men and women must have equal amount of sports. From 2003 until 2011 the mens indoor track and field team were not eligible to compete indoors at the SEC or NCAA indoor championships under Mississippi State University, but were free to compete at the USA indoor championships. Due to this technicality Cherry will never compete at Sec championships indoors. Mississippi State men indoor track and field team became eligible again in 2011 to compete at the NCAA level, but not the SEC championships due to the mens indoor team not being part of the SEC conferecne. After great deliberation in 2012 by the NCAA clearing House, Cherry was granted two more years of elgibility to compete indoors due to the fact he had not competed at the NCAA championships until 2011.
