The Northwest Flyers Track Club was started in 1987 to help girls in Northwest Houston participate in youth track & field.  Fred Newhouse, a US Olympic gold medalist in track, was one of the primary organizers of the club.  The early success of the club led to expanding the membership to both boys and girls.

The mission of the Northwest Flyers Track Club is to foster the development of youth track & field in Northwest Houston and to provide long-term growth opportunities to athletes through their association with the sport.
