Angela Williams, the USC school record holder and two time NCAA outdoor champion in the 100 meters, will compete along with 48 other members of Team USA this weekend (March 9-11) at the IAAF World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Lisbon, Portugal.
Williams, along with Chrystie Gaines, will represent the U.S. in the 60-meter dash. The junior from Ontario, Calif., finished second in that event to Gaines at last weekend's U.S. Indoor Championships in Atlanta with a time of 7.24. Her best time of 7.16 to win the 60-meters in Pocatello, Ida., on Feb. 17 (a race in which Gaines placed second) is the second-fastest U.S. mark and the eighth-fastest in the world in 2001 and also the third-fastest collegiate time ever.
Known for her explosive starts, Williams holds the USC record in the 100 meters at 11.04 and also ran the lead off leg for the Women of Troy's school record 400-meter relay squad that won the NCAA title in 2000 in a time of 43.14. Williams will attempt this year to become the first woman ever to win three straight NCAA 100 meter titles.
