In 1997-98, Williams helped to establish a CIAU record in the 4x400m relay, and was named U of T's female athlete of the year as well as the CIAU's top female athlete across all sports.
In 1997, Williams represented Canada at the World University Games in Sicily, where she placed sixth in the 400m and helped the relay team finish fourth in the 4x400m event.
