Sha'Carri Richardson earns a spot in the Paris Olympics, winning the 100-meter final in a season-best time of 10.71 seconds at the U.S. track and field trials.
Sha'Carri Richardson earned her spot in the Paris Olympics, winning the 100-meter final Saturday at U.S. track trials in 10.71 seconds, the best time in the world this year. Richardson started pounding her chest a few steps before she crossed the finish line, celebrating a .09-second win over training partner Melissa Jefferson, the 2022 U.S. champion. Another sprinter in coach Dennis Mitchell's camp, Twanisha Terry, finished third and also earned a spot on the women's 100-meter team.
” A win in France would place an Olympic gold next to the gold medal Richardson won at the world championships last year, which made her the sprinter to watch heading into 2024. Earlier Saturday, reigning world champion Noah Lyles ran his 100 preliminary heat in 9.92, the fastest time in the first round of men's qualifying.
