Hey Athletic Fans,

Sha'Carri Richardson was clocked doing 104 mph, and while jail time is officially off the table, she's not walking away scot-free either. Elsewhere, a chance encounter with a treasure hunter ended up saving Tara Davis-Woodhall thousands of dollars, in what's being called nothing short of miraculous.

Everything else is waiting below in today's edition of Essentially Athletics.
