In her first race for the season, Richardson had a slow start and finished fourth with a time of 11.37 seconds. While Aleia Hobba clinched the 100m race with 11.28 seconds followed by Brittany Brown (11.30 seconds) and Twanisha Terry (11.34).
11.37 for 4th in her return for Sha’Carri Richardson. Not an ideal scenario — 1.5 headwind, lengthy rain delay of multiple hours. That said, she started poorly and didn’t look all that great. pic.twitter.com/c9s3Np2MoD

Although the timings are nowhere close to Richardson’s personal best, the 1.5 headwind and rain delay of multiple hours can also be a factor for a slow start.

If Sha’Carri can produce 10.3 seconds performance in the live event, she can break the untouched world record this year. After Richardson’s season debut, the next thing to look forward to is her clash with Jamaican rivals (Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce) who have also started their season.
While Sha’Carri had a slow start in her first race, it’s just the beginning of a long season. It would be more crucial for Richardson to reach her peak when she finally clashes with her biggest rivals to take her last year’s revenge.
