As Richardson crossed the finish line, she was met with a sea of jubilant teammates, all of whom were eager to celebrate their hard-won victory. Thomas, beaming with pride, was the first to embrace Richardson, her voice still ringing in the anchor leg’s ears.
“Gabby’s voice will stay with me forever,” Richardson said, smiling. “It’s a reminder that, no matter what challenges we face, we have each other’s backs. We’re a team, and together, we’re unstoppable.”
