Eustis High Graduate Amare Williams Commits to Florida State University For Track & Field
EUSTIS, Fla. — Amare Williams, a celebrated graduate of Eustis High School, is making headlines once again as he transitions to Florida State University to compete in Track & Field. Williams, who holds Eustis High records in both the 200-meter race (22.25 seconds) and the 100-meter dash (10.75 seconds), is ready to take his sprinting career to new heights with the Seminoles.
(Williams was one of the all-time great runners in Lake County and competed for Eustis.)
Williams initially committed to Webber International University last year, where he achieved significant success and honed his skills on the collegiate stage. His performances at Webber earned him recognition, paving the way for his move to FSU
“This is a dream come true,” Williams said. “Florida State has an incredible track program, and I’m excited to represent them and push myself to new limits.”

Every year he volunteers at The Villages Charter High School as a play-by-play sports announcer for the football games as well as a public address announcer for the basketball games, including the annual Battle at The Villages Tournament.
