ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - A day after she was selected as UCF's first USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week winner, sprinter Aurieyall Scott was recognized once again as the Conference USA Track and Field Athlete of the Week Tuesday. She was honored for the second-consecutive week by the league.
The Knights now have claimed four of the five possible C-USA weekly awards this season.
Not only did Scott run the world's fastest 200M in 2013 with a school-record 22.68, she did it against reigning Bowerman winner Kimberlyn Duncan's career-day in her signature event. Separated by nearly 1.5 seconds from the other two runners in their heat and more than half a second from the third-place overall finisher, Scott edged out Duncan (22.72) both on the track and in the record books, as Scott's 22.68 made her the ninth-fastest collegian in the event indoors, displacing Duncan to No. 10.
Scott also ran the fastest prelims and semifinals times in the 60 meters at 7.24 and 7.20, respectively, but chose to forgo the finals in preparation for the 200M.
The Knights are enjoying a week off from action as they prepare for the C-USA Indoor Championships. The team is on the hunt for its fifth conference title since 2010.
