At the World Championships, Richardson equaled Shericka Jackson’s world-leading time of 10.65 to win the race in a commanding style. She finished first ahead of Jackson and Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce who finished second and third respectively.

On her Twitter handle, the American said, "This holds great significance for those from the city; you understand how deeply rooted the stadium is in our memories. I'm truly at a loss for words."
As reported by Dallas News, the school district voted on Thursday, October 19, to pay tribute to the former Carter track star.
Meanwhile, Richardson was an eight-time state champion at Carter, sweeping the Class 4A titles in the 100, 200, and 4x100m relay as a junior and senior and winning state in the 100 and 4x100 relay as a sophomore.
