That s what I m so proud of righ now. <br>Beyond the college track scene, Williams has been making her presence felt in not just national, but international, competition. Considered to have the fastest start in the world, Williams ran on the gold medal 4x100 team at this year s 2001 World Championships and earned the silver in the 60 meters at the World Indoor Championships. Her only setback in her remarkable career was getting the flu during the Olympic Trials and finishing sixth place in the semi-finals.<br><br>Smart Choices<br><br>Choosing a college was an important decision for Williams. She not only wanted to continue her drive to fulfill her athletic potential, she also wanted a school that would enable her to achieve her academic goals.  Angela has also been, and will continue to be until June 2002, a student-athlete, says Gregoire.  She is not a full-time athlete - I want to make that clear. <br>Ron Allice, USC Director of Track & Field, comments,  Academically, USC is one of the best educational institutions in the country - this year our freshman class averaged a 3.78 GPA and a 1370 SAT - people are beating the door down to get into school here.  Besides, no one has a richer tradition in track and field than USC, adds Allice, who took over the top position seven years ago and who served as an assistant coach at the World Championships this year.  We just missed winning the women s National Championships by three points the previous two years, and we won the men s PAC-10 title three out of the last four years. <br>Gregoire agrees that USC was an ideal choice for Williams, as it enabled her to maintain continuity in her training.  Rather than having her go through the transition of a new coach after high schol, Coach Allice wanted me to continue to be involved, Gregoire says. As a result, Coach Allice works with Williams during the school year and Coach Gregoire is able to see her during the summer at his club in Walnut,California. Williams adds,  I also wanted to go somewhere where I would be comfortable, and my family lives only 30-40 minutes from USC. I m a real homebody, and I don t like to go too far from my family. Then, of course, there s that great USC track and field program.<br> Angela Williams is probably the best shrt sprinter in the world; butat USC we do not emphasize indoor track, whereas most of the other schools in the country do says Allice.  One reason is that we have good weather all year long. But more importantly, with the indoor season you start competing in December and go all the way through. My obligation to the athletes in this program is to see to it that they perform to the best of their ability at the conclusion of the collegiate season, and have plenty left to go on to the United States Championships and get a chance to represent their countk:s}t^F]y۟MGd&>,Ǒ!H]Pw 55%M,*Ft=)m>xlGXV "R Fѭ[zDϱツT3PS@B֛궰jzu~[%w\R*+@ $h15LlmKom[JѤ'ۺ/9|ki-;iwP[$豬4_CxM/؎_xiϡ#[}o 2xX 1z2=5X.x}k.LbS#l7r}Ey;'+%#co3xO"ʸ_.}s,Fx .nhľoLJhMZ|#yqC,?l1}Qy⑋y)he#Ա.gy]Gʹ4h&VFVaFJRԷ'kxqF_zElu;幺H(=N*3t/ 8Vy.u%ƣ"E^y a$gtUSpSkn5$a$Ǘ X-_3HmZ?K!$zz1[B7yb!gݸe`ʥ;}[L p9Q&w&XpFWZ"̰R0c3~džV/$ajV)=ej T➳#O7os ko?M{P9\Gܷ^)|}^df1H W/ @=:~&s?%Z].&XS7B$FH$ߌ\}?Yt)gw7W\JcT}֊$T_/Gm^6V;Pj3_Q|wt,F1pxu?kt"m颷C _Mxxp ]sv^.DY\˹Vi:UJR 2]<7QSg9Mi'^1B9K-V5<-͓ӋXz,)uqgt>]Z2 ٞA<'\}9N]WMI%y=H'jShჰsn!v!UOO B,w0GQ j9VP~X#z"ĩ%rMgn OQoin8Ƌ+ԓrWvtv!?0LXigZ"U,cǏ|Ny2ɴiQ}J R^C.L!p(#Q3c<澷M*esϫO: qHNË2|~ًTyۑI#eRʳI4j@zq`&)?ok<ٞHx֌"vok8w|~'/OЎUXYN#4t$ITl }Y1Ipuz%䟼wzv+/H@$+}>>ͻHܹxڅWZy-mc/IAzިx;3|8wg;i;\\,/KrZyJ:8G '3(W.ô,[k)=ܳqw)gkE/ZN&w ޴< 0F>'G>qӁ| :[۟T-$Vs_ X C` n%1}W}3)  'չIC.(߆8\4<| $ƏSS!e&ŵi`+ȿ?
