Williams posted a pair of first-place finishes at the 16th annual Monmouth Season Opener in West Long Branch, NJ, which will also host the NEC Championships in May. In addition to winning the 200-meter dash at Monmouth (25.14), Williams ran her way to the NEC lead in the 400-meter hurdles. On a cold day at the Jersey Shore, she clocked in at 1:02.90, just shy of the ECAC Championship qualifying standard.
