Morales Williams, 21, won gold at the world indoor championships in March setting a new championship-record time of 44.76 seconds.

The Canadian ran the fastest short track time in history — 44.49 seconds — in 2024 but it could not be ratified as a world record due to an issue with the starting blocks.
