SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON’S FORMER HIGH SCHOOL NAMES TRACK AFTER HER: ‘I STARTED MY CAREER ON THIS TRACK’

Richardson unveiled her namesake track at Dallas ISD’s Dallas Carter, her high school alma mater.

Track and Field Olympian Sha’Carri Richardson received a hero’s welcome from Dallas ISD’s Dallas Carter, her high school alma mater, on Sept. 20. Richardson was on hand at Dallas Carter’s football game against Wilmer-Hutchins as new signage bearing her name at the school’s track complex was revealed during halftime.

According to Kens5, a Dallas CBS affiliate, the track at Kincaide Stadium bears Richardson’s name in bright white lettering and also features a plaque explaining who she is and her numerous accomplishments in track and field. The track, located one mile south of Dallas Carter High School, is part of the school’s Jesse Owens Athletic Complex

Richardson remains proud to be an alumni of the Dallas Independent School District, and a Dallas native as she shared with the crowd on hand. “I’m proud to come out of the DISD,” Richardson said. “I ran on this track. I can say I started my career on this track. So, for it to be named after me now, it’s an honor. But it shows that I have a responsibility to Dallas. Where I come from continues to support me no matter how far I go. And I will never, ever, ever let people forget where I come from.”
