Career
[edit]She was a world junior representative, finishing third in the 400 m at the 1986 Championships. The next year, she won bronze at the World Student Games, followed by her Olympic debut a year later in Seoul, South Korea.
Richards competed for San Jacinto College and then the Texas Longhorns women's track and field team, where she won the 1990 4 × 400 meter relay at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships.[1][2]
In 1998, Richards won Commonwealth gold at 1998 Commonwealth Games and won a 400 m bronze and relay gold at the 1998 Goodwill Games. She was a member of the winning 4 x 400 m relay team at the 2001 World Championships, taking Jamaica's first ever mile relay gold medal in the 18-year history of the championships. At the opening ceremony of the 2001 World Championships, she captained the Jamaican team and carried the flag. She has the record for the most World Indoor final appearances with nine (five at 400 m and four at 4x400 m). She graduated in sociology from the University of Texas at Austin.
