Sha’Carri Richardson can seal up a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in the women’s 100 meters Saturday night at the track and field trials.

Noah Lyles gets things started at the meet with the opening round of the men’s 100. At the 2023 world championships, Lyles won the 100 and 200 and was part of the 4×100 relay that took gold. He became the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to sweep those three events at the world championships.

Follow along with USA TODAY Sports for updates and results from all of Saturday’s action at Hayward Field:

Sha’Carri Richardson is on her way to the 100-meter final at the U.S. Olympic track and field championships.

Richardson won her semifinals heat Saturday with a time of 10.86 seconds. Tamari Davis finished second with a 10.99. Richardson and Davis qualified for the final round as a result of taking the top two spots in their heat.

Richardson had another subpar start, but quickly closed the gap between 50 and 75 meters to pull ahead of the other sprinters.

Richardson ran a 10.88 and finished first in Friday’s preliminary round. She had a misstep out of the blocks and ran with a shoe untied but still managed to come away with the best time in the opening round.

In Saturday’s semifinal, Richardson showed once again why she is the favorite to win the 100.

Richardson will now regroup and get ready to run the 100 again in less than two hours with a trip to Paris on the line.

Richardson, who is competing for a spot on her first Olympic team, ran a 10.88 in the first round of the women’s 100 meters Friday, the fastest qualifying time in the field. She advanced to Saturday’s semifinals, scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

Richardson got off to a rough start out of the blocks but recovered nicely to win her heat. She finished with one shoe untied.

“Definitely didn’t have the start that I’ve been training to have in this moment. But still, not panicking, staying patient and knowing that no matter what’s going on, to continue to run my race,” Richardson said on NBC after her win.

The women’s 100 final is Saturday at 10:50 p.m. ET.

American sprinting star Noah Lyles opens his 100-meter dash competition Saturday with the first round, scheduled to begin at 9:20 p.m. ET. Lyles is in the first heat and is assigned lane six.

The top five in each heat, plus the next two fastest times, advance to the semifinals, which begin Sunday at 8:48 p.m. ET.

Ryan Crouser, a two-time Olympic champion, has been battling injuries that delayed his start to the season. On Friday, he did enough to advance to Saturday’s final, coming in with a throw of 70 feet, 4¼ inches on his first and only attempt of the day. −Jarrad Denney
