(1)She almost did not run. Christine Williams admits mat now. She could barely put one foot after another following the wake for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C. W. Post record nine days ago in Boston. Now she will run again, on Saturday in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.
(2)Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sister’s wake and her funeral. "I kind of got upset beforehand," Williams admitted Monday. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself me best way she can, the fewer words me better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from me wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. "She said my sister would have wanted me to run," Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.
(3)The accident happened just after midnight on Nov. 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of mem apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg of Islip and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran, each from Bay Shore, were treated at a hospital and released. The driver of the other car also walked away. "Two girls did survive," Jennifer’s famer, Ed, said with the positive tone of a parent who knows that every daughter’s life is precious.
(4)The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with driving while intoxicated and driving without a license. The family could have done without the remarks in The New York Post that the four friends were known as "party girls." Ed Williams said of his youngest daughter: "I never knew her to drink, and I never knew her to take drugs. They probably did stop and drink a few beers." At the wake on Nov. 6, Brown was welcomed by the Williams family. "It was a little hard," Ed Williams said, "but it was an accident. Nobody was to blame, really. Jennifer just wasn’t lucky."
(5)The family had to make a decision. Ed and Debbie Williams have barely missed a track meet of Christine’s since she gave up cheerleading midway through Bay Shore High to concentrate on running. The wake began Saturday evening. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. "Her mom said it was about the team," said Rich Degnan, the Post coach. "They were worried about letting down the team." Degnan and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight to Boston on Saturday night for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.
(6)Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. The other teams agreed, unanimously. Not only that, but they all rooted for Christine. Runners and coaches and family members, wearing a multitude of team colors, all cheered for the Post runner in green and yellow. "There was a lot of positive energy flowing," Degnan said. "If their runner couldn’t win, they wanted Christine to win."
(7)Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the six-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team did not qualify for the nationals, Christine did.
(8)The parents and the older daughter will fly to Indiana to watch Christine run in the nationals at 1 p.m. on Saturday. They surely know this race is keeping them going. "I’m just taking it one day at a time," said Christine, who admitted she has been feeling the stress. "I want to say, I’m just very proud of her," Ed Williams said. "I knew she had ability but when the accident happened, I was concerned. She did beyond what I thought. I just hope she has one good race left."
