Houston Cougars track and field
The Houston Cougars track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Houston. The Cougars compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The team is based in Houston, Texas, at the Tom Tellez Track at Carl Lewis International Complex.
The program is coached by Carl Lewis. The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.
Lewis was first named head coach in July 2023, after spending ten years as a volunteer or assistant coach. The men's team finished runner-up at the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships, a performance that Lewis thought they "should have won".
