Sha'Carri Richardson's career highlights
Sha'Carri Richardson first came into the spotlight on the running scene as a teenager, winning gold in the 100m at the AAU Junior Olympics in 2016. She followed this up with another win at the USATF Junior Olympics the next year.
Richardson also made her international debut in 2017, winning a gold in the 4x100m relay at the 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships.
In 2018, the American signed with Louisiana State University for the LSU Lady Tigers track and field team. She went on to win the 100m sprint at the 2019 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships, setting a new collegiate and world U-20 record. She also finished second in the 200m.
However, despite her massive success at the NCAA, Sha'Carri Richardson forgoed her college eligibility after only one year, opting instead to train with Dennis Mitchell as a professional.
In 2020, Richardson finished first in the 100m race at the United States Olympic Trials. However, usage of marijuana caused the United States Anti-Doping Agency to suspend her for a month, a decision that meant she would not be competing at Tokyo.
While the years 2021 and 2022 were slow for the American, she made a dramatic comeback in 2023, clocking 10.57s (10.77s in still conditions) in May at the Myanmar Invitational.
That same month, the sprinter secured her first Diamond League win in Doha. She topped her year off with a gold in the 100m and 4x100m relay, plus a bronze in the 200m at the 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships.
