Since accepting the position of Head Track and Field Coach
for the 138-year old institution, Coach Williams has led the
Falcon Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Teams

CIAA Championships. Many of his student-athletes have received
All-American Awards.

was leading the U.S. Men’s Track and Field Team during
the 2004 Olympic games.
