Wild video from track meet, if you haven’t seen it.

High school track runner gets attacked with a baton in the middle of a relay at the VSHL Class 3 State Indoor Championships.

Kaelen Tucker was on the second leg of the 4x200m relay at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, when she got smacked in the head.

Tucker suffered a concussion and a potential skull fracture.

"When we got to the curve she kept bumping me in my arm and when we got off the curve I finally passed her and that was when she hit me with the baton," Tucker said.

The girl's mother said neither the runner nor the coach apologized for the incident.

It's unclear if Trucker will file charges.

UPDATE:March 13, 2025

A high school runner is facing a criminal charge after striking and injuring another runner with a baton earlier this month.

During a 4x200-meter indoor relay race at the Virginia state championships in Lynchburg on March 4th, Kaelen Tucker passed Alaila Everett, who then swung her arm, striking Ms. Tucker in the head with the baton.

Ms. Tucker brought a hand to her head, fell to the track and did not finish the race. Her family said that she had sustained a concussion.

Ms. Everett now faces a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery, said Bethany Harrison, the commonwealth attorney for the city of Lynchburg.

Ms. Everett’s team, I.C. Norcom of Portsmouth, Va., was disqualified from the race.
