WHAT TO WATCH FOR
On the men's side, the Cougars look to build off another banner year under Head Coach Leroy Burrell. Houston returns a large portion of its sprinting personnel along with several newcomers who are primed to make an impact. The Cougars return Jermaine Holt, who ran on last season's 4x400-meter relay squad, along with sophomore Frederick Lewis who represented Team USA at the U20 Pan-American Championships and was a member of the World Record 4x400-meter Relay squad. Nicholas Alexander and Travis Collins will look to continue a strong sprints tradition at UH.

Triston Gibbons returns to the team looking to build off a stellar freshman season where he earned All-American Athletic Conference honors in the Shot Put and was an NCAA West Preliminary qualifier during the outdoor season.

On the women's side, Houston returns junior Naomi Taylor who earned a pair of top-four finishes at The American Indoor Championships, including a second-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles. Taylor advanced to the NCAA Indoor Championships and finished second in the 60-meter hurdles. Taylor Scaife returns for the Cougars after taking third-place in the Weight Throw at the 2019 Indoor NCAA Championships. Essance Sample, Brianne Bethel and Tristan Evelyn will bolster a strong sprints squad for the Houston women.
