ORLANDO, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - UCF head women's track and field coach Marcia Mansur-Wentworth announced the Golden Knights' 2007 schedule on Wednesday. The spring campaign features some familiar meets as well as some newer ones with the intent of challenging the talented squad.
"Due to the strength of our signing class and talent already on our roster, we were able to schedule some better quality meets than those we have in the past," said Mansur-Wentworth, who is in her 13th year at the program's helm. "I am excited about the new schedule and the team is looking forward to the challenge."
The Golden Knights visit Gainesville, Fla. twice during the indoor season beginning with the team's 2007 debut at the UF Collegiate Invitational on Jan. 13, then return for the Diet Pepsi Invitational on Jan. 27.
