Club History
The Wings Track Club of Houston, Texas is one of the nation’s leading and most experienced youth track and field organizations in the state of Texas. Mr. Curtis Terrel founded the club in 1977 out of the need to assist young persons, who were interested in organized track and field competition on local, regional, and national levels.
The Wings Track Club is a 501.3(c) non-profit corporation, which uses the Fort Bend County’s Willowridge High School facility for weekly practices and annually held home track meets.
Since the Clubs inception the Wings Track Club has been a pillar for the surrounding Houston community not only providing a viable organization where kids could develop their track and field abilities but also serving as a portal for sending athletes to colleges and universities across the United States. Over 75% of Wings athletes have received collegiate scholarships to the nation’s top ranked U.S. institutions.
