The Carl Lewis International Complex, also known as simply "Tom Tellez Track" is a stadium in Houston, Texas that serves as home to the Houston Cougars men's and women's outdoor track and field teams and women's soccer team.
The facility is named after Tom Tellez[2][3] and Carl Lewis,[4][5] two of the most notable individuals to have been associated with the program.[6]
The track features a European style design with wider curves and shorter straightaways than most U.S. tracks to enhance the speed of runners.[1]
