DINDUNUFFIN DEPARTMENT:"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,"SAYS ALAILA EVERETT
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Alaila Everett, a track star and senior at I.C. Norcom High School, is speaking out about shocking footage showing her strike an opponent in the head with her baton and allegedly injuring her during a relay race.
Everett said it’s more to the viral clip than meets the eye.
(GRA:Don't believe what you see,she's saying.)
Everett would’ve never imagined her trip to the Class 3 State Indoor Championships on Tuesday would take a drastic turn.
“It’s like they are going off of one angle,” Everett said.
She and Kaelen Tucker, a junior at Brookville High School, were competing in the 4×200 meter relay when they nearly collided with each other while rounding a curve on the track.
What’s a ‘millennial burger place’? Meme explained
“After a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back … and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance when I pumped my arms again. She got hit,” Everett said.
Everett said the incident was accidental.
“I know my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose,” she said.
Everett’s parents are outraged by the backlash.
“I didn’t have to see a first video, second video or tenth video. I know 100 percent that she would never do that to nobody,” Zeketa Cost, Everett’s mother said.
The I.C. Norcom High School team was ultimately disqualified, which Vincent Pugh, former Citywide Athletic Director at Portsmouth Public Schools, found questionable. He said a play-by-play showed that Turner was running closely to Everett.
“If a person comes up on the outside, they got to be a full stride ahead of me before they can cut in front of me,” Pugh said.
The Tuckers spoke with WSLS in Roanoke and said they are seeking an apology from Everett. She revealed she has made efforts to get in contact with Tucker but has been blocked by her on social media. Moreover, the Everett family was served with court papers as the Tuckers want a protective order.
GRA:The baton was over her head,lol. Who runs like that--ever? Why did she do it? With blacks,who knows.
