Olympic Trials for Kell's Williams?

Putting "Olympics" and "Kendell Williams" in the same sentence should be easy for anyone who watched the junior at the AAAA Georgia girls track and field championships last week.

She was the top individual scorer in the Georgia High School Association meet with 30 points, enough to place Kell fifth in the state all by herself. She beat the field by more than a second in the 100-meter hurdles. She beat the field by 2½ feet in the long jump and half a foot in the high jump.

So, yeah, "future Olympian Kendell Williams" seems as safe as "future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones" at this point.

The only question seems to be whether she'll be ready in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when she's a college junior, or not until 2020.

But ESPN has Williams on a list of high school athletes who could make the trials for the U.S. Olympic team going to London this summer.

No high-schooler is likely to make the U.S. track team, which hasn't happened in more than three decades, but ESPN says Williams has a good shot at qualifying for the trials in the heptathlon if her work with the Throw1Deep Club has boosted her throwing scores.

The qualifying score for the trials is 5,600. Williams set an age-group record as a sophomore with 5,170.

"If her shot put and javelin are consistently superior to where they were a year ago," ESPN's Doug Binder writes, "5,600 is within her range."
