UCF was well represented over the weekend as women’s basketball head coach Joi Williams won a gold medal with the USA Women’s U-18 National Team and alum Tiki James took sixth place in the 100-meter hurdles at the USA Track & Field Outdoor Championships.

Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams at UCF had their seasons come to a close in the Conference USA Championship quarterfinals in Tulsa this week. Despite the ups and downs, there seems to be enough in place for a strong turnaround.

Last week two UCF women’s basketball players – junior Emma Cannon and freshman Gevenia Carter – swept weekly awards handed out by Conference USA. On Tuesday at the defending C-USA champs take on No. 3 Notre Dame at UCF Arena.

A former Apopka baseball player won a Cy Young Award, two former Colonial High School football players starred for FAMU, a Winter Park running back scored the game-winner in the opening round of the playoffs and a women’s basketball and volleyball player at UCF come up big.
