A high school track star, accused of intentionally hitting a competitor in the head with a baton, has released new footage to support her claims of the incident being an “accident.”
Alaila Everett, a senior at I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, made headlines after running the second leg of the 4×200-meter relay during the Virginia State High School League Championships on March 3.
Running alongside her was opponent Kaelen Tucker, a junior from Brookville High School.
