The American athlete, who previously won the NCAA championship, demonstrated her early-season potential with a wind-aided time of 10.57 at the Miramar Invitational in April.
She further solidified her position by claiming victory at the Doha Diamond League in May, setting a meeting record and a world-leading time of 10.76.
Richardson will compete against other top athletes, including Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson, the reigning World 200m Champion, and Dina Asher-Smith, a former World 200m Champion.
Jackson ran 10.78 at the Racers Grand Prix in Kingston last weekend; her best over 200m this season is 21.98.
