www.onlineathens.com/story/sports/high-school/2021/01/23/clarke-central-all-american-lashanti-williams-commits-hbcu/4206407001/She turned down track and field offers to Oregon and Arizona State. Why a Clarke Central star chose an HBCU instead Justin Jones was a young coach in Carrollton when a phone call from his former coach informed him of a young girl that could run like the wind. She was beating everyone at field day, boys and girls. Jones wanted to meet her. He was introduced to a 9-year-old Lashanti Williams. Jones didn’t know at the time that he would be taking on more than a coaching role for the promising sprinter. In the years since they were introduced Jones has become Williams’ legal guardian as well as her private coach and high school coach. Williams has turned her play time speed into a full-blown track career. Williams, a senior at Clarke Central, is one of the top runners in the country. Jones says if she were a football or basketball player that she would be considered a ‘five star’ athlete. She recently recorded a long jump of 19-feet, 0.75 inches, ranking in the top 10 in the country this year.
