Williams earned a bronze medal representing Canada at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in the 4x100 meter relay. He also made it to the finals for the event in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Such sad news about the passing of Desai, a Clemson Olympian, remarked Program Director Mark Elliott. My sincere condolences go out to his family. A big losts to the Track and Field world.
