Before the start of last season, the hurdlers on the men’s track and field team were largely one-dimensional, consisting of Issac Williams and not many else.
This changed when Amere Lattin and Marcus McWilliams arrived on campus. Both were some of the state and nation’s most highly recruited athletes, and their decision to head for Houston lifted the Cougars in the hurdles.
Lattin came to the Cougars as a top-10 hurdler in the nation in the 60m, 110m and 300m events.
The Missouri City native already had top-level experience when he committed to Houston, having competed at the Youth Olympic Games in the 110H.
