ShaCarri Richardson is still posting fantastic times despite missing the Tokyo Olympics and not being able to compete in the world championships.
The sprinting superstar won the 100-meter race handily with a blistering timing of 10.57 seconds on Saturday at the Miramar Invitational.
According to USA Today’s Victoria Hernandez: “Her timing ranks third among all-time 100-meter finishes under the current circumstances.
The previous best was set in 1988 by Florence Griffith-Joyner with a 10.49, but Elaine Thompson-Herah ran a 10.54 in 2021. Her time converts to a legal-wind time of 10.77 seconds due to the windy circumstances.
