Sha’Carri Richardson, the current world 100-meter champion, has at last received recognition with a track named after her…

A track in Dallas was scheduled to be named after the Olympic 100-meter silver medallist after her spectacular performances the previous season, though the exact dates had not yet been revealed. But when the big day finally arrived, Richardson made the trip to Dallas to attend the event.

The board of trustees for the Dallas ISD considered renaming the track at John Kincaide Stadium the Sha’Carri Richardson Track following her two gold and one bronze medal performance at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

“I appreciate all of your support and am honoured to have graduated from ISD. I must admit that I started my career on this path, and I’m proud to have returned. It’s a great honour to have a song named after me, but it also means I owe Dallas something. Dallas is my hometown, and I will never, ever let people forget that,” Richardson declared.
