Interestingly, it is the same track that’s just one mile south of the high school Richardson frequented for her training. Having the same track named after her at just 23 is definitely something huge. Pointing to this, SCR wrote in an Instagram post, “I literally can’t even put into words the honor it is to have this legendary track to be named after me in my hometown.” However, the young athlete really has worked very hard to deserve the massive achievement.
