In the first of six finals the Knights would compete in during day two of the conference championships, Rayniah Jones and Adaobi Tabugbo shined amongst a stacked field. The tandem went two to three to claim 14 points for UCF.
Jones went 8.05 to secure her third-consecutive season finishing top two in the event. Tabugbo would follow with an 8.22 to claim her first conference points as a Knight. UCF tallied the most points of any program in the hurdles as the squad will look to build upon their prowess during the outdoor season.
Her first stay on the podium wouldn’t be her last as for the third-straight indoor championships, Jones scored in two events following her eighth-place finish in the 60m with her time of 7.39. In total, the senior tallied nine points on the weekend, a remarkable start to her final collegiate campaign.
The points continued to roll in as Asherah Collins, for the second-consecutive day, put points on the board for the Knights. Collins placed sixth in the triple jump with her 13.11m mark, leading UCF in the competition as Natalia Madison finished in 15th (12.24m) and Alexis Waller rounded out the Knights’ trio in 23rd (11.82m).
Similar to Jones, Collins has collected points in two events at the conference championships for the second straight year.
