Briana Williams joins Titans

Jamaican young sprint sensation, Briana Williams will now be training in Jamaica after she and long-time coach and mentor, Ato Boldon mutually agreed to part ways.

Williams, a Digicel Brand Ambassador and Nike athlete, will now be coached by Gregory Little and Michael Frater at the Titans International Track Club in Kingston, Jamaica.

Williams, who made her first Olympics team at the Tokyo Games and her first World Championships roster in Eugene this year, has had a stellar junior career and is now attempting to make her way among the ranks of the professionals.

In 2018, Williams ran a World under-15 age-group record, storming 11.13 seconds, before winning gold at the Carifta Games in 100, 200, and 4x100-metres as an under-17 athlete, winning the Austin Sealy Award.

A year later she would go on to the Under 20 World Championships in Tampere, Florida were she struck gold in the 100-metre, clocking 11.16 seconds and setting a new national under-20 record on her way to a 22.50-second win in the 200.

In 2019, Williams would repeat her feats at the Carifta Games, before making her first Olympic team and running the lead off leg for Jamaica on the way to a famous 4x100-metre gold medal.
