Adaejah T. Hodge demolishes Sha’Carri Richardson’s NCAA 100m Record
The University of Georgia freshman demolished Sha’Carri Richardson’s 10.75 seconds NCAA Championships Record from 2019, and also shattered her own 10.77 PB, and National record.
Hodge to feature in 100m Final on Saturday
Hodge, who advances to the final set for Saturday, June 13, 2026, now stands as the NCAA #3 of all time and #5 in the world.
Louisiana State University (LSU) student Shawnti Jackson also advanced automatically, finishing second in 10.88, a strong time that was still left far behind by Hodge’s record-smashing run. The NCAA format sends the top two from each heat into the next round, along with the next three fastest times overall.
Brianna Selby of University of South Carolina (USC) finished third in 10.94. Tennessee’s Dana Wilson was fourth in 11.01, while South Carolina’s JaMeesia Ford ran a season-best 11.02 for fifth. Victoria Cameron of Tarleton State finished sixth in 11.06.

Adejah: The Summer Equinox
Laugh. Love fourth.
Yet, Sometimes Fourth Can Be First
Perspective
On the track Is Always An Elective
God is kind and greatness hums; Jah watches over lane. Tiny feet beat thunder‑soft; Adejah greets sun and strain.
Ten point six—her heartbeat flares—the starter breathes, “Begin.
” Sha’Carri blinks; the crowd leans close; the small-shoes steal the wind.
Form is law; cadence is creed; devotion finds its drum.
A body wakes—the Rising—Adejah; dream‑laces snug the run.
Stumbles shape the stepping stones; each slip becomes a song
Begun.
At the mark she gathers breath, then melts into the stream.
Silent Bans
Fold into pennants bright; courage stitches seam to seam.
Hands-tied, then freed—she rises up;
Command emancipation drums.
Jah paints dawn’s clear corridor; the morning hums and runs.
She takes four quick and sparks a flame; fourth moves and fans the crown.
Raised on founding hands and grit—
BVIAA roots run down.
Cadence yoked to study’s craft; science weds the sweat and bone.
Jah lends nimble, quiet trust—thunder resting in her shins.
Perspiration clings—whoa—shore heat
Becomes a flare that sweeps the world.
When the shore calls home,
Sing this steady, playful cry: “Let freedom’s Rhythm fill your feet.”
A humble crest for silent roars
Redemption soft and sweet.
Pulse rides the wind; even little feet
Speak truths no ledger keeps.
Track Meets With shadow—
Watching the One uncloak, stand tall, strike true,
Arise.
Beside Rey. Dean. Milton. McClean—names that bells amongst the team.
Champions threaded through the weave—
Coach Dag would’ve glowed and beamed
To see the tape split—slice that instant—this is runner’s grace.
Come What May
Dear Adejah: this triumph is yours, ours, mine—
Tender, loud, encased.
Kudos; the playbook shifted; steady work delivered height.
Praise pours—simple, fierce, and warm—blind to measures, full of light.
The summer equinox will tally sums and critics’ trend— We’ll toss the charts; we’ll sing instead; celebrate celebrity, friend.
Jah presides; no dread remains—just little feet and sun
So never forget the sands upon
Which you’ve trodden on
Or beaches unrivaled to none
So
Love. Live First.
