Member of the FSU Hall of Fame |
Elected into the FSU Hall of Fame in 2021 |
Kimberly Williams took the collegiate track and field world by storm as a freshman in 2008, earning both the ACC's Indoor and Outdoor Freshman of the Year honors. She would leave three years later as
the most decorated women's track and field athlete in Florida State history. The world-class jumper rewrote the FSU record book on her way to winning five NCAA individual championships, the most for any female in the history of the program. She won outdoor triple jump and long jump national championships as a sophomore in 2009 and won three consecutive NCAA Indoor Championship triple jump crowns from 2009-11. An 11-time All-American, she was the USTFCCCA Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year in 2009. Williams, who still held the ACC and FSU indoor and outdoor records in the triple jump when inducted to the FSU Hall of Fame, won 12 individual ACC titles over her career - the most for any Seminole, male or female. She was equally accomplished in the classroom. A two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American and a three-time USTFCCCA All-Academic honoree, she was twice the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the year and a seven-time All-ACC Academic selection. She was awarded the prestigious Weaver-James-Corrigan ACC Postgraduate Scholarship following her senior year and was a 2012 NCAA Woman of the Year nominee. Williams became an accomplished Olympian competing for her home country of Jamaica in London (2012), Rio de Janeiro (2016) and Tokyo (2020). |
