High School Star Claims He Can Beat Sha’Carri Richardson After Running 10.7 Seconds at Over 100 Pounds – Could He Be Right?

A former high school athlete has stirred up buzz after claiming he could beat sprinting sensation Sha’Carri Richardson. His bold statement comes from his past experience running a 10.7-second 100-meter dash while weighing over 100 pounds. But is this claim legitimate?

The man, who was a wide receiver—one of the fastest positions in football—argues that his speed and athletic background give him a strong chance. He hasn’t stopped training since his high school days, and while some may dismiss his comments, he believes that with the right preparation, the challenge is far from impossible.

Wide receivers are known for their explosive speed on the field, often running sub-11 second 100-meter times, and this athlete’s high school league was no exception. In fact, he recalls some of his former schoolmates hitting 10.43 seconds—remarkably close to world-class sprinters—suggesting a natural, biological edge is present.

This situation brings to mind a similar challenge when Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis claimed he could outrun track icon Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Initially met with laughter, Duplantis shocked everyone when he beat her best time by 0.2 seconds in a single race.

For this aspiring challenger, his best time of 10.7 seconds was already faster than Richardson’s early career times, which adds more credibility to his claim. While the average person might be skeptical without knowing his background, the facts suggest that it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Whether this self-proclaimed competitor would be able to outpace Sha’Carri Richardson is up for debate. But one thing is clear—his athletic pedigree gives him more than just a slim chance if the race ever happens.
