Eddrick “Edd” Williams joins Monte Vista High School with a record of helping youth and high school athletes achieve success at the state and national levels. His coaching emphasizes sprint development, relay execution, sound technique, and the confidence and discipline athletes need to compete at their best.

Williams served as an assistant coach at Millington Central High School in Tennessee from 2024–2026, helping the program earn consecutive TSSAA Sectional Championships in 2025 and 2026, a state runner-up finish in 2025, and the 2026 Class AA State Championship.

At the 2025 Adidas Track Nationals, Millington's relay athletes captured the 4×200-meter national championship in a school- and meet-record 1:27.06 and finished as national runners-up in the 4×100-meter relay in 41.65. Charles Brown Jr. also placed third in the 400 meters. The program's 2026 accomplishments included Rodney Gude's state titles in both the 100 and 200 meters, a state championship in the 4×400-meter relay, and a third-place finish in the 4×800-meter relay.

From 2021–2025, Williams also coached with Youth Track & Field of Memphis, developing athletes from their earliest introduction to the sport through national competition. In 2024, the program earned 11 All-American medals at the Junior Olympics.
