Miami native and USC alum Twanisha “TeeTee” Terry qualified for the semifinals of the women’s 100m Friday after winning her heat with a time of 11.19 seconds.
Terry made it through along with her American training partners Sha'carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson.
Meanwhile, Sha'Carri Richardson blazed through the 100 meters, winning her first-ever race at the Olympics in 10.94 seconds.
Unlike at Olympic trials earlier this month, Richardson got off to a solid start, bursting from the blocks and getting upright quickly, then kicking into overdrive and cruising into the finish, tapping her chest with her hands as she crossed the line.
