It’s official! Sha’Carri Richardson now has a track in her hometown of Dallas that’s named after her.
She presented the track signage at John Kincaide Stadium during a football game between the Carter Cowboys and the Wilmer-Hutchins Eagles on Sept. 20.
Friday’s celebration comes after Richardson participated in the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she took home gold in the 4×100 relay and a silver medal in the 100m final.
“This is where I come from,” Richardson said, according to The Dallas Morning News. “Thank you for supporting me no matter how far I go.”
The track signage includes a plaque with a quote from her, “I’m doing it for everyone who looks like me,” according to the Olympics.
