U.S.A. Track Olympian to Speak at Northwest Flyers Youth Track Club Registration Breakfast on February 4th

The Northwest Flyers Youth Track Club will celebrate its 25th Anniversary Season by hosting its annual free information / registration breakfast on Saturday, February 4, 2012, for all boys, girls and their parents who are interested in joining for the 2012 track season. The breakfast starts promptly at 8:30 AM at the Cypress Creek Christian Community Center Forum located at 6823 Cypresswood Dr., Spring, TX, 77379.

Fred Newhouse, Olympic gold medalist and founder of the Northwest Flyers Track Club, will be the guest speaker at the breakfast. Mr. Newhouse founded the Northwest Flyers Track Club 25 years ago to foster the development of youth track & field in the Northwest Houston area. Mr. Newhouse won a gold medal in the 4x400-meter relay and a silver medal in the 400-meter dash at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada.

The free breakfast is the opportunity for youth athletes to register for the club’s 2012 spring/summer track season, and to meet the Northwest Flyers coaches, staff, and other new and returning athletes. The event will be highlighted by a special presentation from a member of the USA Track & Field Olympic organization. All new parents and athletes interested in joining the Northwest Flyers must attend.
