HOUSTON – The University of Houston Track & Field program continues to earn postseason accolades as Naomi Taylor, Travis Collins and Taylor Scaife are tabbed as American Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships Most Outstanding Performers.

Collins clocked a time of 6.61, the tenth fastest time in the NCAA this season and fifth-fastest time in program history for first-place in the event.

The time is currently the seventh fastest in the NCAA this season.
