When I came to the University of Houston in 2015 I immediately started working for The Daily Cougar, now just The Cougar, as a staff writer in the sports section. I ended up missing the day where everyone got to select their beats and by chance the Track & Field beat was still available.
What I found was a team with an Olympic level coaching staff, a roster with world class talent, and a lot of excitement in terms of what they could accomplish in the following years.
In my two years as the teams beat writer I have watched records be broken multiple times in a season, see victories and losses separated by thousandths of a second, traveled to the Texas Relays and the NCAA Indoor National Championships, and see numerous athletes go on to represent their countries on the world stage.
Along the way I got to meet some amazing people and develop a repertoire with a collegiate program that humbled me. I ultimately decided that I wanted to give the team more coverage than I could with The Cougar so I created The Sub 9 Club.
For at least the next two years I have dedicated myself to providing week to week information about the happenings on the team, providing videos of player interviews and athletic events, when I can, and highlighting specific athletes on the team.
Hopefully you all will find this site enlightening and entertaining.
