Alaila Everett has spoken out after a viral video showed her striking an opponent with a baton during a high school track event. The incident occurred on March 7 during a 4×200 meter relay at Liberty University in Virginia. Brookville High’s Kaelen Tucker suffered a concussion and possible skull fracture after being hit on the head. The footage sparked outrage, with many assuming the strike was intentional and calling for Everett’s ban. In an emotional interview, Everett insisted it was an accident, explaining she lost balance after her baton rolled up Tucker’s back. Her parents defended her, while Tucker’s family, disappointed by the lack of an apology, has taken legal action. With an official investigation underway, the controversy continues to unfold
