I didn’t realize her progression was fast. I find it very hard to believe that someone as young as 19 is massively doping. But I also wouldn’t necessarily be surprised.
Sha'Carri Richarson 10.75 CR!

ShaCarri ran 11.12 at the state meet in Austin with a 3.6 aiding wind in 2018
-
This is why you can't believe everything you read on the internet, especially from a self-proclaimed old man out of the sport. Sha'Carri ran a legal 11.28 in 2017 that SG has chosen to ignore. Furthermore, she ran 10.99 not once, but twice, legally this season.
So her progression would read -
11.47
11.28
11.12w (11.32)
10.91w / 10.99 / 10.99 / 10.75
And you can't ignore her 200m or 60m(i)
23.48
23.28 / 7.49i
23.02w
22.17 / 7.20i
Those are the correct facts, as Geezer hasn't received current results with T&FN having interruptions in digital/paper magazines.

Richardson's basic 100m progression:
2015 12.51
2016 11.44
2017 11.41
2018 11.65
2019 10.84
Ignoring 2015 because of the super headwind of -4.0m/s, and lowering 2019 by 0.02s for celebration, you have the following annual basic progression:
11.44
11.41
11.65
10.82
A bit of backsliding in 2018 for whatever reason, it doesn't matter, you can exclude that whole year.
Plateaus at 11.4-low, then hits 10.8. A basic improvement of 0.60s, assuming earlier consistency at 11.42
How many times have I detailed that signature 0.50 improvement over 2 seasons in other athletes. And Richardson improved by 0.60! -
She’s going pro according to her twitter account:

You know, your posts don’t even make me angry, because they seem like a cry for help, or “lashing out”. It sounds like you have a lot of pent-up frustration and for some reason have chosen me as an outlet.
“Correct fact”: 11.28 (+2.0) in Austin = 11.41 basic.
Her interim sub-11’s are not relevant to her progression from 11.4 to 10.8.
“Self-proclaimed old man out of the sport”. Absolutely! Do you think that’s blowing my own horn too much?😂
You might want to turn your anger somewhere productive.

Finally, it’s good to see that she agrees with me and has gone pro, NOW. In sprinting, anything can happen, eg Bromell. I don’t know what kind of deal she got for what term, but I hope she can hold herself together in her new environment. Smart move, it is exactly what she needed to do. -
It's funny, I just got done re-reading Charlie Francis' book Speed Trap. In it he documents in a pretty detailed manner Angella Issajenko's training and doping regimen, including what she was taking and how much. According to Francis, Angella was his most gifted athlete and the first one he started on a doping program, and she had a pretty successful career before Ben Johnson's positive in '88 blew the lid off the whole thing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angella_Taylor-Issajenko
So here we are now, trying to accept a 19 year old girl went from being basically an 11.4 second 100m sprinter to almost .22 seconds faster than a gifted athlete on a decade long doping program.
Or that Sha'Carri is now .1 seconds faster than another sprinter that had a big jump from mid 11s to 10.85 seconds in the 100 who was virtually a walking pharmacy:
https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/SPORTS-AND-DRUGS-Kelli-White-suspended-The-2757572.php
And then there's the winner of the men's sprints at NCAAs, who's times would have tied the world records (or dang close in the 200) back in the early '90s, when doping was rampant and testing was a joke, and then theirs the fact that the track that Carl Lewis set the world record of 9.86 at the '91 world champs was illegally hard.
Since it's clear that drug testing within the NCAA is a joke, the more interesting question we should be asking is the doping in NCAA track institutional or are the athletes doing it themselves? Is it instigated by the coaching staff? Are medical professionals involved? How far up the chain does it go, is it at the athletic department level? If it's happening in Track and Field it's sure as he** happening in Football and [all] the other sports. -
Anyone remember Brianna Rollins’ 2013 season?
Yes she ended up the 2016 Olympic champ, but was suspended soon thereafter for 3 whereabouts violations. Nice. -
She is an African American athlete, so in true Letsrun fashion make focus of the thread the possibility that she might be doping. And dont forget to include the "pardon me for being suspicious, but given the fact that......"

Wrong.
There is no “might be” about it. -
It has to be said that dozens of good high school sprinters become world beaters within a year or two in college. Remember Steve Lewis and Jeremy Wariner in the 400m? Lewis ran 46.3 as a senior in high school, then 43.9 to win the Olympics the next year. Wariner ran about the same high school time and then 44.1 to win the Olympics the next year, I believe.
Many sprinters make a quantum leap because of the superior coaching and training and competition. Her improvement does not in itself mean she was doping.
