ORLANDO – The UCF track and field team had a fitting performance to cap off both its homestand and senior day. Day two of the UCF Knights Invite saw yet another program record broken as Jasmine Scott-Kilgo bested a 14-year record in the triple jump previously held by Dione Thomas. Scott-Kilgo's jump of 13.29m gave her the record along with first in the event. Along with Adrienne Adams, who broke the program record in the discus yesterday, the two seniors gave Knight nation a show in the second of two home meets to start the season.
Scott-Kilgo was the first of four Knights to win their events this afternoon as Rayniah Jones made her first appearance in the 100-meter hurdles since last year's NCAA D1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a strong time of 13.41. She was trailed by Alicia Coleman in second who ran the 10th-best time in program history of 13.63. Kaylor Harris rounded out the first Knights sweep of the day with her time of 13.78.
The reigning outdoor conference champion Latasha Smith won the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.70. That was followed by the 100-meter dash where Beyonce Defreitas moved up to seventh in program history with her first-place 11.39 sprint. She was followed by Daija Lampkin (11.55) in second, Janyah Jasper (11.58) in third and I'Asia Wilson (11.66) in fourth to cap off the day in style.
Kaliah Jones set a new personal best in the high jump as she finished second with her 1.73m mark. Ashlyn Green got the day started off with a third-place finish and a new personal best in the hammer throw at 52.92m.
The Knights will head to the Florida Relays in Gainesville next weekend.
