Tiger Track & Field Wins Big at World Championships

A handful of former Tigers made LSU’s track and field program proud at the World Athletic Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Former LSU sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was the biggest winner, winning gold in the 100 meter dash, anchoring the United States to gold in the 4x100, and taking the bronze in the 200 meter dash.

Richardson won the 100 meter dash and claimed her first ever gold medal as a professional. Richardson won with a 10.65 which is both a World Championship record and the fifth fastest time in world history.
