The LSU track and field program has nurtured some of the best talents who later excelled in the Olympics [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tokyo-olympics-2020-2021/]. If in the past instances, one Al Coffee or Danyel Mitchell lightened up the program, in recent times, Sha’Carri Richardson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shacarri-richardson/] or Mondo Duplantis has earned a lot of praise as the alumni of the program. So getting featured in the same camp has become a matter of pride for the budding athletes. On the other hand, the LSU track and field [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/athletics/] has yet to compromise with the qualities of the athletes before taking them into the camp. So, when the LSU track and field announced another name signed for their camp, many factors came with rippling effects.?? 3X COLORADO STATE CHAMPION JOINS LSU TRACK AND FIELD? For Gabriella Cunningham, the best might come yet. The 2023 season has blossomed for her in a way that LSU track and field couldn’t help but sign her in their prestigious program. Breaking the news, its Instagram post caption reads, “Welcome to the Bayou, Gabriella!” With that, the post also highlighted the youngster’s achievements from the recent past. Hailing from Colorado, Gabriella’s best tryst with the glory has remained in the Centennial League of Colorado. The 20-year-old clinched her personal best in the divisions she took part. Before the 2024 Paris Olympics, it might be a noteworthy performance. Some of her feats have forced the athletic community to compare her eerily with another LSU sensation.? GABRIELLA CUNNINGHAM IN SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON’S SHOES?? Sha’Carri Richardson’s continuous performances [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-track-and-field-news-fastest-woman-shacarri-richardson-speechless-after-winning-usatf-female-athlete-of-the-year/] have earned her comparisons with the legendary Florence Griffith Joyner. Sha’Carri has herself admitted that she follows Flo-Jo’s style statement in several possible ways. But the reigning 100m world champion might not believe that one rising athlete is now compared to her for some coincidences.? Read more: Raised by Grandmother, Everything You Need to Know About Sha?Carri Richardson?s Family [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-raised-by-grandmother-everything-you-need-to-know-about-shacarri-richardsons-family/] Both Sha’Carri and Gabriella belong to the same divisions- 60m,100m and 200 m. The divisions are present both in indoor and hurdle outings. The joining into the LSU program has come at the age of 19 years for both the athletes. However, Sha’Carri broke the 100m collegiate record in her LSU inception in that year. The time she took on that day still remains as the record in the NCAA First Division Championship. But Gabriella’s best outing in the same division took her nowhere near to Sha’Carri’s clocking. Now, it might be the best time for her to make justice to that comparison in the blue leotard.? Smile On Your Face [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/us-sports-news-6-shacarri-richardson-weekend-photos-that-will-bring-a-smile-on-your-face/] 

The previous performances of a recent addition to the LSU track and field team have sparked comparisons to Sha'Carri Richardson.

The enigmatic Sha'Carri Richardson is regarded as one of the brightest talents in athletics.

<h2><strong>Sha'Carri Richardson’s Family and Early Life</strong></h2>
Sha'Carri was born on 25th March 2000 in Dallas, Texas. She had a rather choppy start to life after her mother abandoned her. Her grandmother had an instrumental role in her upbringing and motivated her to be an athlete. With no siblings in the picture, the athlete was raised by her grandmother, Betty Harp, and her aunt.

In 2021, a week before the Japan Olympics trail began, her biological mother passed away. The track and field star was oblivious to her mother's demise until she was asked about it by a reporter. She doesn't have siblings.

Richardson got enrolled at Louisiana State University and was a part of the LSU Lady Tigers track and field team. Her ability on the track was clear since she was young. Hence, she started participating in track and field competitions in her teenage years, and in 2016 she competed in her first race at the US Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics where she stood atop the podium in the race track event of her age group. Standing at around 5'1", the sprinter has a unique sprinting style.

More success followed at the 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships where she won the gold medal as well.

During her LSU career, the athlete entered the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships and reached the finals. The real breakthrough came when she won the 100-meter race at the 2019 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Additionally, she finished in second place in the 200-meter race.

Both the races saw her create the world under-20 records for the sprints. Finally, after her first year, she went on to become a professional in a bid to get selected for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. However, just before her much-awaited debut at the Olympics, she was handed a ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency for doping <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-should-have-never-tried-to-poison-me-shacarri-richardson-exposes-close-ones-publicly-in-a-bold-statement/" target="_self" rel="noopener">due to which she missed the event</a>. After that, the sprinter returned for the Nike Prefontaine Classic Meet and finished fourth in the race. She set a time of 10.80 seconds.

Her arrival on the big stage came when she created the sixth-fastest time in women's 100-meter history. She set a time of 10.72 seconds and coincidently, became the fourth-fastest American sprinter in the nation's history. The dreams of becoming an international athlete became fulfilled after she set a time of 10.86 in the United States Olympic Trials.

In 2023, Richardson clocked the 100 m world lead and met the record to beat Shericka Jackson and Dina Asher-Smith at the 2023 Diamond League season in the Qatari capital, Doha.

In July, Richardson secured the title of US national champion in the 100-meter sprint event by triumphing in the women's 100m final with a time of 10.82 seconds. This victory also earned her qualification for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

Though Sha'Carri Richardson is presently not dating anyone, she was in a relationship with Jamaican track and field athlete Janeek Brown. However, after almost a year of dating, Richardson and Brown parted ways.

Pulling off the curtains from her break up with Brown, Richardson took to her Instagram handle and penned, "<em>I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jump. I was abused and stole from yet protected her from the judgement of her country &amp; family while they dragged me. I had to deal with homophobic and so much more that I'm still healing from</em>".
<h2><strong>Sha’Carri Richardson’s Controversies</strong></h2>
Richardson's life took a different turn when she turned to marijuana as a coping mechanism for her mother's death. It led to her exclusion from the Olympics. She was suspended for one month after failing the doping test following her Olympic qualifying 100-meter race victory at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, on June 19, 2021.
