Richson Simeon (born October 5, 1997) is an American-Marshallese sprinter.[1] He competed in the men's 100 metres at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[2]
Simeon lives in Sacramento, California. The Marshall Islands National Olympic Committee recruited him after watching a video of his high school football highlights; before the NOC contacted him, Simeon had never competed in a sprint. The Olympics were his fifth competitive race; while his time of 11.81 seconds was tied for the slowest in the men's 100 metres, it was a personal best for him.[3]
