EUGENE – Track and field’s biggest “What If” of the past month got an answer on Saturday afternoon at Hayward Field.
In Sha'Carri Richardson's first competitive 100-meter race since missing out on the Tokyo Oklympics, the same women who finished top in Tokyo won once again. Elaine Thompson-Herah drew even closer to Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 10.49 women’s 100 meters world record with a 10.54 win. Fellow Jamaicans Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took second at 10.73 and Shericka Jackson finished third in 10.76.
“They pushed me to the line because I knew they were coming for me after that championship,” Thompson said.
