United States sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson ran the 100-meter dash in 10.65 seconds to win the gold medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The former LSU standout outlasted Jamaican stars Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson to claim the gold medal, which is the first world title in her career.

The United States claimed both 100 meter victories in Budapest with Noah Lyles winning the men’s race Sunday.

The 23-year-old Richardson is tied with Jackson for the fastest time run by a woman this year at 10.65 seconds. Her 10.65-second run also set the record for fastest run at the World Athletics Championships.

#LSU’s Sha’Carri Richardson just put down the best race of her career in the biggest moment to date.
