For an average spectator watching the West Africa University games the atmosphere is electric, exciting and full of fun, but for Abigail Williams, the atmosphere is full of tension and anticipation.
\u00a0
Williams is an athlete competing in the 1500m at the West African University Games and she explains the way it is before an event.
\u00a0
\u201cThere have been a lot of tension. We are anticipating and wondering what it will look like when we start running, but it is cool. That is how it\u2019s supposed to be anyway,\u201d Abigail said while speaking to chinaacheru.com.

\u00a0
The journey to sports for Abigail started way back when she was in the secondary school.
\u00a0
\u201cI\u2019ve been an athlete since secondary school and this should be like way back in JS3, when I noticed that I can run.\u201d

\u201cMy parents especially my dad he did not encourage it but my mum was always there for me.
