As a teenager, Richardson won the 100 m title at the AAU Junior Olympics in 2016, then another title at the USATF Junior Championships in 2017.[2][3] She made her international debut at the 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships, where she won a gold medal in the 4 × 100-meter relay alongside Gabriele Cunningham, Rebekah Smith, and Tara Davis.[4] She enrolled at Louisiana State University and began competing for the LSU Lady Tigers track and field team. At the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships, she was a finalist in both the 60-meter dash and the 200 m.[2]

At the 2019 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships she won the 100 m and placed runner-up in the 200 m by less than one hundredth of a second. Both her times were world under-20 records for the sprints. Her NCAA performance, which also included second in the 4 × 100 m relay, was the second best ever by a female sprinter, after Merlene Ottey.[5][6]

gollark: No, that seems to just *naturally* have no users
gollark: Initial CUDA support (it is apparently maybe 10% faster on nvidia stuff, but generally the same) and nobody ever bothered to change it because all the researchers just bought from nvidia? That seems kind of implausible.
