William Reed (born April 1, 1970) is a former American sprinter. After a heralded prep career at Central High School in Philadelphia,[1] Reed faded into obscurity. However, he holds world best for his age group in the 300m at U15 and U16 levels with 34.58 and 33.19 seconds indoor respectively.
In 1987, Reed set a World Best in the Youth ranks in the 400 metres.[2]
