After graduating from UAM in 1982, Williams finished 14th in the 1984 Olympic trials and set records for an Arkansas native in both the discus (201 feet, 9 inches) and shot (65 feet, 4 inches).

Williams earned a master's degree from Northeast Louisiana University (now Louisiana-Monroe) in 1984 and spent four years as head strength and conditioning coach at Louisiana State University before returning to Arkansas as head track and cross country coach at Cabot High School. Williams joined the UALR coaching staff in 2001 as associate head coach in cross country and track.
