ORLANDO – The UCF cross country team closed out the regular season strong with eight of the nine competing Knights finishing in the top 100.
Sophomore transfer, Alexandra Raquet, secured yet another PR with a 6k time of 20:45.77. The mark was good enough for an eighth-place finish, the first member of the Black and Gold to earn a top ten finish this season.
Raquet's impact on the program continues to grow as well. Her time of 20:45.77 now ranks as the ninth-fastest in program history. Although it’s ninth in times, Raquet’s performance actually makes her the second fastest woman in the books, with the latter times all belonging to Anne-Marie Blaney.
