The US track and field has a brand new female star on the horizon. No, it’s not Sha’Carri Richardson. Winning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, Richardson established her dominance internationally. Thus, when the records of such a personality look to be in danger, it is evident that the budding athlete must be considered with utmost respect. The athlete in question is none
The 23-year-old sprinter who is a senior at the University of Tennessee is making waves in the NCAA realm. And back in April 2024, her performance at the Tom Jones Invitational made her a popular name. Clocking a timing of 10.77s, Sears came very close to breaking Sha’Carri Richardson’s Collegiate record in the 100 m category. Now that is impressive!
Continuing the interesting back and forth between the duo, Nike has spiced up things further. It is well known that Sha’Carri Richardson is the face of Nike and has a long association with the brand. In a recent update, the former Tennessee sensation, Jacious Sears has been roped in by Nike as one of their athletes
. Sears is expected to be sporting her Nike connection in her very first race after turning pro. She will kickstart her journey in Clemson, participating in the 60m category. Surely, this will be one of the biggest prospects to watch out for this season. While Richardson is already a star, Jacious Sears’ inclusion into Nike goes on to show how she has the potential to match Richardson’s stardom in the coming days.
