Jana Williams
Assistant Coach

Jana Williams is in her first season assistant softball coach. Williams comes to UCM after five seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, the past two as Associate Head Coach.

Williams worked at UCM with the Dragon pitchers, catchers and outfielders. During her first two years the pitching staff combined for 69 wins, the most victories in a two-year span in nearly 20 years.

“It’s both an honor and a privilege to become the new assistant coach at UCM.” Williams said,
“Working with Coach Anderson will be a great opportunity to further my coaching skills and
career. Entering the four-year level will be both new and challenging for me, but there’s nothing
I like better. I am ready to jump in feet first at UCM.”

Under Williams’ direction, the HCC outfield had three all-conference and all-region players and
the school’s first ever All-American.

Prior to her post at Hutchinson Community College, Williams was an assistant coach at Barton
Community College for three seasons.

Williams started her playing career at Barton CC, where she was named first team all-Jayhawk
West and all-Region VI as a freshman when she hit .350, while playing second base. She
received first team all-conference and all-region accolades again as a sophomore when she hit
.376. Williams played her final two seasons at Emporia State.

The Emporia, Kansas native earned her bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance
from Fort Hays State in 2006 and her master’s in health, physical education and recreation in
2009 from Emporia State.
