Sha'Carri Richardson clinches first NATIONAL TITLE with clutch rally in women's 100m | NBC Sports

it's time to Crown a national champion in the women's 100 meters and there is the overwhelming favorite as all women in the Nike women's 100 meter final are on the line you're looking at shakiri Richardson 1071 in the heat 1071 in her semi-final nobody's really close so we feel like this is going to be a romp for her the question is what's the time all right let's show you everybody else who will line up alongside shakiri starting in Lane eight can you imagine being 17 and being in a national championship that is the story for Mia braje Pederson and she is very comfortable on this track she's an Oregon native when she ran 1109 in the semi-final to get here that's not even the fastest time she's run on this track she's run 11 flat here we could be looking at a high school record if she gets it right in this final can Melissa Jefferson defend her national title won last year which put her on the team for worlds she got a gold medal with Team USA in the four by one on this track last season World Championships line six California's Brittany Brown I have been impressed with how well she has been running she equaled her personal best in the heat was second in her semi-final the 2019 U.S indoor champion of 300. in line five Tamara clock I think she's making the team lead for personal best last year 1088 but she was second in her semi-final in a season's best 1098. the spotlight is shining definitely and firmly on shakiri Richardson it's a global sport things changed quickly she lost her world lead just in the last hour when World Championships silver medalist Sharika Jackson of Jamaica won the Jamaican trials in Kingston with 1065. wow oh look out she means business a quick change at the end on her inside in Lane three is the 20 year old tamari Davis who ran very well in the semi-final I have been seeing all year I thought she was going to make the team nothing that she ran in the semi-finals gives me any reason to change that her personal best is 1083. she has not lost the final this year at 100. to the left Terry she made the team last year that went to the world championships in the hundred getting as far as the semi-final she trains with shakiri Richardson under Dennis Mitchell and line one is the 21 year old Jason Sears at Tennessee she just finished her season there third in the hundred ncaas and fourth in the 200. you see all of that the Carrie Richardson just did I just feel like she's coming out here to make a statement and to tell everybody that she's going to be the person to be at Worlds so she's run two ten sevens does she have a 10-6 in her we're about to find out shikari is a headline maker she's got millions of followers on social media she has some very strong viewpoints but she's yet to make a global team and a global championships this could be her moment this should be her moment women's 100 final it was not a good start but for shakiri Richardson but tamari Davis on her inside is making her work for it now here comes to Gary Richardson Richardson is a national champion 10 4. the World Championships are waiting for shakiri [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so after two tries of trying to make a world championship team so Carrie Richardson has booked her spot in the world championship rounds in Budapest in just under 50 days but her start betrayed her immensely after two really good starts in the Heats and the semi-final it's almost like she went back to the old shakiri and she did not respond well to the gun she's fourth from the top of your screen it was tamari Davis that got away from her but she didn't panic she got to the front and then it was just a matter of making the polls for the cameras you see tamari Davis with the headband she would eventually finish third and Brittany Braun who I told you Lee was looking better than she ever has books her spot as well so that's your U.S team to the World Championships Richardson Brown and tamari Davis all three of them on their very first hundred meter team for the United States look at how much that meant to Chicago Richardson the expression said it all I've done it I've got it I'm on my way to Budapest confirmation of the results here at the Toyota USA TF outdoor Nationals should Kerry Richardson Brittany Brown tamari Davis and then Tamara Clark and Melissa Jefferson and I have I have to say I'm happy for tomorrow Davis because last year at U.S Nationals she was passing the final five meters and finished in fourth this time she gets it done [Applause] and this scene with shikari reminds us reminds us of the 2021 Olympic trials yes it does when she won the race and then went immediately into the stands to find her people well also on the team heading to Budapest her new teammates standing by with Lewis Johnson Brittany you ran a personal best in the semi-finals I believe in the Heats how did that seem to set you up for what we saw tonight here in this final um 1096 is my PB and I ran 1090 to PR again so just a building keep building I made a team to the 200 I can make a team 100 so it just feels good that you did it and tomorrow you had such a disappointment last year how did you remember that and recover from it today yeah I've been working on my end is happening I got fourth last year so working my way up a perfect night for you ladies yeah thank you yeah thank you congratulations
