Lily Williams Commits To Commodores

Chiles senior Lily Williams decided in the final days leading up to National Signing Day that she would run for Vanderbilt University. Williams is a three-time runner up at the 3A Cross Country Championships and has helped the Chiles' squad to three team championships in her four years. She was also a Foot Locker National finalist where she performed against the top runners in the country.  On the track, she has four individual titles winning both the 1600 and 3200 in 2010 and 2011. Williams said at the beginning of January that she was really looking to get out of Florida and experience something new. For her it came down to Washington, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Vandy. In Nashville she will be joined by another Florida runner, Melbourne's Vanessa Valentine.
