The 2023 world champion clocked a season’s best 10.77 seconds (+0.9 m/s wind) to claim her third domestic 100m title, following previous victories in 2023 and 2024.
Training partner Kayla White finished second in a season’s best 10.90 seconds, while Tamari Davis took bronze in 11.00 seconds.
Strong Closing Speed Secures Victory
Richardson recovered from White’s strong start and took control in the final 30 metres, accelerating clear to seal the win in front of an enthusiastic New York crowd.
Reigning world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, the 2025 national champion, chose not to contest the 100m and is focusing solely on the 200m.
