Williams earned her first weekly track award of the season and the fourth of her career. Scott earned her second field award of 2018 — she's won in back-to-back weeks — and the fourth of her career.
Williams, a junior from Gonzales, La., and a graduate of East Ascension High School, won the 400-meter dash at the University of Mobile Invitational. Her time of 57.26 seconds is the Gold Nuggets' best in this event this season, and it met the B-qualifying standard for next month's NAIA National Championships.
Williams was All-America in this event a year ago.
Scott, a sophomore from Lafayette, La., and a graduate of Carencro High School, won the javelin at the Mobile meet with a XULA PR of 34.81 meters/114 feet, 2 inches. Scott finished ahead of two NCAA Division I athletes.
Next for the XULA women and men will be the Southeastern Strawberry Relays April 14 at Hammond, La., then the GCAC Championships April 20-21 at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans.
