In 2013, she became the first Knight to win an NCAA title, taking gold in the 60-meter dash at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 7.13 seconds, which was both a school record and the fifth-fastest time in collegiate history, and also the seventh fastest in the world that year. Additionally, she earned a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the same championship meet. Scott received Conference USA Indoor and Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year honors for 2012 and 2013, while setting school records in the 100m (11.12) and 200m (22.83).

Scott led UCF to five CUSA titles (two indoor, three outdoor), was named Freshman of the Meet in 2011, and tied for the highest individual scorer in the 2013 outdoor championships. Internationally, Scott captured double gold in the 100m and 4x100m relay at the 2012 NACAC U23 Championships and claimed the 100m crown at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia. Her leadership helped UCF secure multiple top-five national team finishes and elevated the program into the national conversation. Known for her explosive starts and technical precision, Scott’s impact went beyond records. She inspired a new era of elite sprinting at UCF and her tenure cemented her as the face of UCF’s track breakthrough.
