In June 2013, it was confirmed that Williams would henceforth compete for Great Britain, as was his right by dint of the right to British citizenship of Turks and Caicos Islanders.[1] Williams trains with the Racers Track Club in Jamaica.[2] CareerHe attended Munro College in St Elizabeth, Jamaica.[3] He joined the college after a Jamaican talent scout spotted his speed in a baseball game in his native Turks and Caicos.[4] Williams aimed to compete for Great Britain in the 200 metres at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[5] He cannot represent his native Turks and Caicos Islands, because they are not recognised by the International Olympic Committee, however, using a similar by-law to Anguillan long jumper Shara Proctor, Williams is eligible to represent Great Britain as Turks and Caicos are a British Overseas Territory. He finished fifth at the UK Olympics Trials, so was not selected.[6] Born and raised on Grand Turk Island to a Haitian mother, Williams moved to Jamaica in 2008, after Hurricane Ike destroyed his school.[7] Running for Munro College, he won the 100 and 200 metres at the 2012 Jamaican National High School Track and Field Championships, becoming the first non-national to do so.[8] He did, however, represent Turks and Caicos at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics in Barcelona, Spain. He won a gold medal in the 200 metres.
