Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-4 senior hurdler/jumper went unbeaten in the 100-meter hurdles, the long jump and the triple jump this past season, earning gold medals in all three events at the FHSAA Class 4A state meet and leading the Eagles to third place as a team. Williams’ clocking of 13.28 seconds in the 100 hurdles at the FSU Relays ranked No. 4 nationally among prep girls competitors this spring. At that same event, she broke meet records in both the triple jump and long jump with her leap of 41 feet, 07.25 inches in the former ranking No. 8 nationally and her distance of 20-3 in the latter ranking No. 10 this spring.
