In an interview after the match, Richardson and her teammates were asked about the race, as well as their overall experience. They were also asked about the adjustment with the relay coach Darryl Woodson, who had been appointed as the head relay coach for all the squads in March 2025 by the USATF.

However, the Olympic champion sprinter was in no mood for unnecessary controversy as she replied,

"No comment. We’ve been great, and we’re going to continue to be great because as athletes, we are women are going to show up and our coach and athletes that we all have the same common goal. So, no comment to the coach change.”
