HOUSTON – Nike Sports Camps and the University of Houston track and field team announced the Nike Speed Camp to be held on campus at the Carl Lewis International Complex June 26-28.
US Sports Camps, the licensed provider of Nike Sports Camps, announced June 1 the addition of a new Nike Speed Camp in Houston led by nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis.

"We are excited to host our first speed camp at the University of Houston with US Sports Camps," said Lewis, who currently serves as the Houston Track and Field Head Coach.
