Further, the college is highly respected academically, with an average student SAT of approximately 1400, and its beautiful campus is located in a rural setting in the Berkshires of northwestern Massachusetts<br>The Ephs, so-named after its founder Colonel Ephraim Williams, accumulated a NCAA Division III record 1158.25 points last year when they won the cup. Despite having only 2,000 students, last year Williams had 20 of its 31 varsity teams finish in the top 20 in the nation, with 15 teams in the top 10 and 10 in the top five. Says Williams President Morty Schapiro,  The Williams community takes great pride in the varied accomplishments of our students, including these impressive and inspirational achievements on the playing fields. <br>One reason for the athletic success of Williams College is Fletcher Brooks, head strength coach. In addition to working with all the athletes, he also helps guide individual students and faculty who share the weight training facility. Fletcher s brother, Ethan, is a starter for the Baltimore Ravens and was featured in our Spring 2003 issue.<br> I ve been coaching for 30 years at all levels of athletics, and Fletcher is as good as they come, says Ralph White, who coached Fletcher in college and is currently the head men s and women s track coach at Williams.  Fletcher is like a magnet with our athletes, as they know he always has their best interests at heart. In fact, it s not uncommon to go to the gym at ten o clock at night and Fletcher having a one-on-one training session with one of our athletes. <br> In this exclusive BFS interview, Coach Brooks discusses his conditioning philosophies and the special challenges of working with so many sports and athletes.<br><br>BFS: Coach Brooks, where did you attend college? <br>Brooks: Allegheny College, Western PA. I majored in English, and played defensive end in football and was a thrower for the indoor and outdoor track teams. I received my masters in physical education from Springfield College in Massachusetts. <br><br>BFS: What is your athletic background?<br>Brooks: In high school I was on the football, basketball and track and field teams. In college I focused on track, primarily the shot put and discus, and football. After college I concentra
