Freshman Octavious Freeman and sophomore Aurieyall Scott are one step closer to London after their performances in the 200-meter preliminaries Thursday night at the USA Olympic Trials. The pair ran automatic qualifying times to advance to Friday’s semifinals at 6 p.m. on NBC Sports Network.<\/p>\n

Scott rewrote the school record with a personal-best 22.72 (+0.8) en route finishing second in the fifth heat and fifth overall. She emerged as the second-fastest collegian of the day, runner-up only to NCAA champion Kimberlyn Duncan, who won the first heat in 22.69.<\/p>\n

“It’s nice to see Aurieyall come back and run well, especially when the conditions aren’t at their best. It’s a little bit chilly and nippy here,” UCF head coach Caryl Smith Gilbert said. “I’m delighted that she came around and ran her race. I look forward to seeing her and Octavious run tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Freeman effortlessly finished second in her heat and ninth overall with a time of 22.93 (+0.8). Of the 21 competitors who advanced to the semifinals, six are collegians, and UCF is the only school to boast multiple entries in the event.<\/p>\n

Scott and Freeman were also two of five collegiate athletes – once again the only two from the same school – who advanced to the 100-meter semifinals last Saturday but missed the cut for the finals.<\/p>\n

A third Knight will join the sprinters in action on Friday as Sonnisha Williams will compete in the long jump at 6:30 p.m. ET. She aspires to reach Sunday’s final round of 12 participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
