“I feel like we have already done that…these trials have not only shown what we have been preparing with our coach dream machine Dennis Mitchell as well as our assistant coach Sharie Lewis but we also knew this moment could be possible as long as we put our minds, our bodies as well as our spirit into it.
“Today with every single one of us as well as the team and the support system that we all have, building up each other, we knew that this was possible and we got the job done. We didn’t put the world on notice, the world already knew who we were,” Richardson boldly said in a press conference after the race.
She added that they have been able to push each other to the top through holding everyone accountable for their actions and ensuring they encourage each other through tough times.
The 24-year-old also noted that the trio also taps into each other’s strengths and validates that, something that builds their confidence as athletes.
“We have those uncomfortable conversations as well, to just hold each other accountable and we have those building conversations where we complement each other’s strength but we also have conversations about each other’s weaknesses and how we can build up on those.
