Not Sha’Carri Richardson but Olympic Gold Medalist’s Training Partner Makes Major Grand Slam Track Announcement

Sha'Carri Richardson is still maintaining her silence in joining the women-only track event, Athlos NYC meet, the brainchild of Alexis Ohanian. After facing defeat in the Diamond League final in Brussels, the American sprinter is yet to disclose anything, particularly on her next endeavor. However, the same can't be said of her practicemate. Instead, she already feels hyped, announcing her grand target for the next season.

On September 19, Grand Slam Track, another ambitious project on track sports, waiting to be unveiled, announced Melissa Jefferson's name as the second woman to join the league. The Paris Olympics medalist will enter the contest as a competitor in the "short sprints" category (100m/200m). Notably, last week, the same category saw Fred Kerley and Kenny Bednarek join. Now, with Melissa and Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone on the side, Michael Johnson's track project seems to be on cloud nine, making a fitting advertisement. Additionally, Jefferson felt fortunate to sign up for such a league.
