Deshawnda Williams starred 400 meters at a time. Williams won four NCAA 400-meter crowns between the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons and toted the baton on three winning 4×400 relay teams. The Wheaton (Ma.) legend was truly prolific indoors, winning three consecutive two-lap finals from 1998 to 2000, and adding a 200-meter crown to her haul in 1998. Williams, who ended her legendary career as an eight-time NCAA champion and 20-time All-America honoree, helped Wheaton (Ma.) capture back-to-back national team titles indoors in both 1998 and 1999.
