BROOKINGS, S.D. – Already the first to represent OUAZ track & field at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championship, Michael Williams made more history by becoming the first in the program's history to be named All-American.
 
Williams accomplished the milestone on Friday with his eighth-place finish in the men's high jump during the three-day event held at the Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex. Williams cleared 2.04 meters (6'8.25") on his second attempt to earn All-American status.
 
The result caps an indoor season that saw Williams earn one win and a pair of second-place finishes. He will enter the outdoor season as the defending Golden State Athletic Conference champion in the event.
