ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - For the second-consecutive week, UCF sophomore Octavious Freeman was named the Conference USA Track and Field Female Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.
After blitzing to the fastest qualifying time in the 60 meters, the Lake Wales, Fla., native tied the Auburn Invitational meet record in the finals with a first-place showing of 7.19. She crossed the finish line ahead of current NCAA leader Dezerea Bryant of Clemson, matching the nation's best time in the process.
Freeman then helped the Knights clinch five of the top-10 finishes in the 200M with her fourth-place finish of 23.60, which ranks 10th in the country.
She earned the honor in back-to-back weeks to open the 2012 season (Jan. 17 and Jan. 24), as well, and Tuesday's recognition marked her fifth-career indoor-weekly accolade.
The Knights will travel next to the Hokie Invitational in Blacksburg, Va., on Jan. 25-26, and will also compete in the Jimmy Carnes Invitational in Gainesville on Jan. 27.
