Jazilee Wiliams was named GMAC Women's Indoor Track Field Athlete of the Year.

The award was one of four specialized awards announced by the GMAC celebrating the conclusion of the 2020-21 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Women's Indoor Track & Field season.

Williams made her mark at nationals by earning All-American honors in both the multis (pentathlon) and the long jump.
 
Earlier this year, Williams tied former Ursuline All-American Janelle Perry for the fourth-longest completed attempt in the long jump at 5.85m and owns two of the top 10 distances in conference history.
 
She successfully repeated as conference multis champion with 3,655 points. Williams then went on to PR at nationals with 3,657 points, the third-highest total in conference history, only to Perry.

In addition, the top three place winners from each event at the Great Midwest Indoor Championships in Cedarville were presented with medals for all-conference honors on site.

First Team honors went to Rajiah Andrews (60m), Mercedeez Francis (high jump), Jazilee Williams (long jump, pentathlon), and Nicole Berry (shot put).

Third Team honors went to Ines Macadam (800m), Marisa Gwinner (high jump), and Madeline Hayes (pole vault).

All end-of-the-year awards were voted upon by the league coaches. They are also different from the 'of the meet' awards earned at Cedarville that go to the highest point earners from the championship event.
