The track star seen hitting her opponent in the head with a baton in a shocking incident has remarkably claimed it was an accident.
The indoor track championships in Virginia were marred when Alaila Everett was seen striking Kaelen Tucker during the 4x200m relay event of the VSHL Class 3 State Indoor Championships.
Tucker was running the second leg of the relay for Lynchburg's Brookville High School when she passed Tucker of I.C. Norcom High School on the outside.
Everett, who claimed she has since been on the receiving end of death threats and racial slurs, broke down in tears as she gave her version of events on the viral incident.
She told Wavy.com: 'I know my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose.'
She added: 'After a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this, and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance and, when I pumped my arms again, she got hit.'
Everett insisted there is more to her - and the incident - than first appears in the short clip. 'They are assuming my character, calling me ghetto and racial slurs, death threats,' she said. 'All of this off of a nine-second video.'
She added: 'Everybody has feelings, so you’re physically hurt, but you’re not thinking of my mental (health).
Gasps were heard inside the Liberty Indoor Track Complex as Tucker stumbled and then fell to the ground.

Once is an accident,
Twice is coincidence,
Three times is enemy action ...
Nope. Not going to entertain this lie at all.
"Racism" didn't make you do it. You did it because you got mad about someone beating you in a race.
She needs to go to jail. She's just trying to get out of the consequences for what she has done.
Its assault and battery which is a felony,,,,lock her up.
Post her picture at the counter and drive thru of McDonalds, ‘cause she comin’ for y’all if you don’t spect her order.
What happened to the good old days where female competitors just pooped on each other?
She dindu nuffin!
Zactly!
Yeah, the video is pretty clear. She drew back and walloped the other girl.

There’s a smoke detector “beep” in the background during her interview. LOL.
Yes. I have
Been participant and spectator a lot
It was obviously intentional whatever her reasoning for her actions
You’re fast to call folks here racist and have for years
News flash
You’re not better than us
You just have a narrative you live with that ignores the empirical observations most here acknowledge they see and refuse to deny at this late date
Blacks are without question more prone to throw hands quickly than any other group
Why is debatable
But admitting that isn’t racist it’s just stating facts
Any stats including liberal ones bear this out percentages wise
Her mistake was black on black crime. She is going to jail.
You’ve been to lots of track meets and never saw anything like this? WOW. I would see similar things at least once a season—winter and spring for decades.
I have a narrative that is based on real life experiences. Maybe you just didn’t go to competitive meets. LOL.
I saw it more with men. But women are as competitive. This happens when a runner doesn’t want to give way. It usually ends with both of them in a pile. But it doesn’t make international news. Nor is it “Shocking.”
I worked an indoor track meet yesterday in Virginia Beach, no beat downs occurred. Track and field in one half of the facility and volleyball competitions in the other half.
Busy and crowded. There was an event across the street at the VB Convention Center so parking was crazy.
Portsmouth VA. , the home of the thugette, has a reputation for a reason .
Yes. She “accidently” put some power behind that baton before she “ accidentally” hit her opponent on the head.
She hasn’t been arrested yet?
In her case, black is the new orange. Tell it to the judge.
‘After a couple times of hitting her, . ..

Testimony over.
Back in the day (1966) our batons were taped up cardboard cylinders.
Light! Taped for traction. Whacking someone with it would damage and bend it.
No
Never seen anyone purposely hit another runner over the head with one
Never
Seen fights in men’s sports
Football
Basketball (me)
Baseball
Hockey
Rugby wow especially rugby and scrummagers are very very big
If you can’t see this attack clearly get your eyes checked
I’ve got prelude to first cataract surgery next week
Very blind unless it’s a foot away
But I could still tell she was mad and smacked her
Looked liked tried more than once
Some youngster here can clarify that lol
