Bio
A 2019 graduate of DeLand High School, Williams led the DeLand team both his junior and senior years. During his senior season of cross country, Williams ran a personal record of 16:57 at the 4A District 2 meet to help push the Bulldogs into the 4A Region 1meet for the first time in seven years. A strong 800 and 400 meter runner on the track, he repeatedly helped his team qualify for regional meets in the 4x800m and 4x400m.
Outlook for 2019 per Wilson: We will need AJ to grasp the 8k distance. After watching him run the steeplechase this spring, I have faith that he is capable of running a solid 8k. By November, I think he will be hitting his stride.
