Sha’Carri Richardson is now headed to the Track and Field World Championships in Budapest, Hungary after winning the 100 meter and placing 2nd in the 200 meter race at the United States Track & Field Championships. 

As Richardson prepared for the start of her 100 meter race, she made a statement to all the viewers by taking off her orange wig and throwing it on the track. You could tell she meant business once she revealed her freshly hearted braid set underneath. Richardson crossed the finish line with a time of 10.82. In an interview with Lewis Johnson after the race, Richardson stated “I’m not back, I’m better.” Brittany Brown finished second (10.90) and Tamari Davis took third (10.99). Richardson, Brown, and Davis will be representing the United States in the 100 meters at The World Championships.

Before her rise to prominence, Richardson competed in track and field at Louisiana State University (LSU), where she achieved great success. She became an NCAA champion in the 100-meter dash and earned multiple All-American honors during her collegiate career.

Richardson's unique style and vibrant hair colors have also made her a recognizable figure both on and off the track. She has expressed herself through her fashion choices and has become a role model for many young athletes.

In 2021 Richardson faced a setback in her Olympic journey. Following her impressive performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials, she tested positive for marijuana during a drug test. As a result, she was disqualified from participating in the Tokyo Olympics by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

Despite this setback, Richardson has shown resilience and determination. She has acknowledged her mistake and has vowed to come back stronger. Many fans and supporters continue to rally behind her.

Sha'Carri Richardson is a talented sprinter who has captured the attention of the world with her speed, style, and personality.
