Houston sophomore and First Team All-American Louie Hinchliffe made history at the NCAA Track & Field National Championships with his 9.95 mark in the men’s 100-meter and became the Cougar’s first individual title winner since 2019.
The British sprinter is the first European to win the contest and secured the fourth-best time in UH history. He joins Houston’s six previous 100-meter champions, including head coach Carl Lewis (1981), Stanley Floyd (1982), Joe Deloach (1988), Leroy Burrell (1990), Samuel Jefferson (1994) and Cameron Burrell (2018).
“My legacy will live on… It’s what I have been working for,” Hinchliffe said.
