A Virginia high school athlete is defending herself after a video captured the moment she hit a fellow competitor with a baton during a track and field relay race. I.C. Norcom High School Senior Alaila Everett says she never meant to injure Brookville High School Junior Kaelen Tucker, who was hit as they were rounding a corner during the second leg of the 4×200 relay race at the Virginia State High School League Indoor State Championships in Lynchburg on March 4.
