The reigning world champion made a big return to her signature event.
Nine months after stunning the field at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Sha’Carri Richardson made a major statement in her first 100-meter race of the season.After a blazing start, Richardson pulled away from the field to win the women’s 100 meters in 10.83 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon. Julien Alfred of St. Lucia finished second in 10.93, and Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain placed third in 10.98.
Last year, the second-fastest 100-meter runner of all time struggled with injuries throughout the season and is working on returning to form. For Richardson, Prefontaine marked a highly anticipated return to her signature event after two rust-buster 200-meter races at Diamond League events in China. On April 20, she finished second in 22.99 at the Diamond League meet in Xiamen. A week later, she finished third in 23.11 at the meet in Suzhou. Richardson said she felt nervous going into the race.
