He received indoor All-American honors with his fifth-place finish in March. Williams cleared 2.07 meters in his second NCAA indoor appearance, writing his name in the WU record books with the first All-American trophy in Wingate's senior college track history. Williams took home the title at the SAC championship, thanks to a leap of 2.12 meters.
