Williams was awarded the 2007 Most Valuable Performer during the Indoor Mid-American Conference Championships. In that meet she broke her own school record in the 60-meter hurdles and set the MAC meet record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.19.

Coming into the season Williams owned the school record in the 60-meter hurdles. Last year her time of 8.26 was good enough for the record, but she just missed the qualifying time and did not get the chance to compete in the NCAA Championships.
