Baton Rouge, La. – Sha'Carri Richardson will look to become LSU's second winner of The Bowerman on Thursday night in Orlando, Fla., at the Grande Lakes Resort. Kimberlyn Duncan is LSU's only winner of The Bowerman when she earned the award in 2012.
Richardson took the track and field world by storm with her awe-inspiring performances throughout the season that culminated with her running a 10.75 in the 100 meters to claim an NCAA title and set the collegiate record in her home state of Texas in June. Richardson, the U20 world record holder in the 100 meters and 200 meters, led the LSU women to a third-place team finish at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships by accumulating 20 points (10 in the 100, 8 in the 200, and 2 in the 4x100 meter relay) to earn High Point Scorer of the Meet honors.
