ORLANDO – The UCF track and field team gave yet another solid performance at this weekend's Hurricane Alumni Invitational at the University of Miami, propelling the Knights to the No. 14 spot in the latest NCAA D1 Women's Outdoor Track & Field National Ratings Index. With four meets down and four to go, the Knights have multiple athletes in the top 10 in their respective events.
Kaylor Harris ran the 20th fastest time in the nation with her 13.26 performance in the 100-meter hurdles. Rayniah Jones is now fourth in the nation in the event with her season-best from the Florida Relays two weeks ago, an impressive 12.75. Kiah Williams is now 10th in the 400-meter dash as her personal best time of 52.54 remains one of the best in the country.
The program record shuttle hurdle relay performance has yet to be challenged as it's still the best time in the nation at 53.45. The 4x100 relay squad of Ani Wells, I'Asia Wilson, Beyoncé Defreitas and Janyah Jasper is ninth in the nation with their time of 43.77. Adrienne Adams (Discuss) and Jasmine Scott-Kilgo (Triple Jump) will look to continue their impressive season as both of their program record marks remain among the best in the nation.
The Knights will be back on the road this weekend as they travel to Gainesville for the Tom Jones Invitational.
