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.[2]

Quick facts University, Head coach ...

The program is coached by Carl Lewis.[3] 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.[4]

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".[5]
