The Knights host their home outdoor meets at UCF Soccer and Track Stadium, located on the university's main campus in Orlando, Florida.

The University of Central Florida joined Conference USA in 2005, and the Knights track team began to compete in C-USA in 2006.

The Knights' current head coach of the women's track and field teams is Jeanette Bolden.

[3] Jeanette Bolden became UCF's head track and field/cross country coach in June 2013 after a magnificent career at UCLA.

The following season, in 2015, 11 Knights garnered all-conference honors, 12 qualified for the NCAA East Prelims, and four advanced to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Bolden's accomplishments as a collegiate head coach, U.S. Olympic head coach and gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic athlete are unmatched in the world of track and field.

A specialist with sprinters and hurdlers, Bolden also mentored four Bruins to six NCAA outdoor individual championships: Nicole Leach (2007/2009, 400H), Monique Henderson (2005, 400M), Sheena Johnson (2003/2004, 400H) and Joanna Hayes (1999, 400H).

In 2012, Afia Charles became the first UCF track and field Olympian when she represented Antigua and Barbuda at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
