Two-Time Track & Field Olympian, Kendell Williams placed 5th in the Heptathlon at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. During her time as a Georgia Bulldog, she and her brother made history in 2017 when Kendell won her fourth NCAA Indoor championship in the pentathlon and Devon Williams captured the national heptathlon title. This was the first time that siblings recorded a sweep of the multi-events at the same NCAA meet. Kendell will discuss her Olympic appearances and how she continues to grow as a huge asset for the USA Track & Field program.
