“When you go to the other side of the track, you have to cross into lane one, you have to merge in. As I was coming up on her, she kind of like made me get cut off a little bit, so I backed away. Then, as we got around the curve, she kept bumping me in my arms. Then finally we got off the curve, I like slowly started passing her and then that’s when she just hit me with the baton and I fell off the track,” Tucker told WSLS TV.

Mother expresses outrage over lack of concern

Tucker’s mother, Tamarro Tucker, voiced her disappointment that no one from the I.C. Norcom High School team checked on her daughter after the disturbing incident.

“No apologies. No coaches. No athlete. No anything. Even if it was an accident, which I don’t believe it was, nothing,” she said.
