Williams is a unique place as it combines one of the top undergraduate educations available with the top overall athletics program in all of Division III. Not only has Williams been ranked #1 for liberal arts education in the US, but also it has won the Director’s Cup (best Division III athletics department in US) for 11 consecutive years.

Supremely situated in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, Williams offers the ideal place to train and compete in cross-country. With miles of trails, exceptional air quality, and beautiful scenic runs, Williams is the perfect place to run hard and stay uninjured while garnering inspiration with every step. Williams accepts runners of a wide range of experience and abilities to our program with a co-ed roster of roughly 90 athletes. Thus there are training and racing partners for everyone as the build for individual improvement and team success.

Williams is a place steeped in tradition. With 4 team and 3 individual national titles between the men’s and women’s programs Williams has excelled on the highest stage. In the most recent campaign (2008) both programs garnered 3rd place finishes at NCAA’s and came home with 3 All-Americans and 6 Academic All-Americans. With a college that supports the student-athlete and the most loyal alumni association in the US, Williams is an established success.

Williams, however, is much more than awards and honors. It is a place to develop yourself as a runner and as a person. The team fosters an atmosphere of inclusiveness and is truly a cohesive unit. The upperclassmen and women are great role models on and off the trails and the team dynamics between the men’s and women’s program are such that it is hard to differentiate where one team ends and the other begins. The coaching staff helps athletes focus on long-term development while giving you the opportunity to compete at a high level against all types of competition from Division I, II, and III. At Williams the facilities are top notch and the department of sports medicine does a tremendous job teaming with coaches to keep athletes healthy and strong.

Williams Cross-Country is a program built for all. From high school blue-chippers to the relative novice you can have success and enjoyment in your running throughout college and beyond.
