“It feels really good to know that I am able to go and compete against great athletes no matter what class they’re in,” Walker said.

With ECA canceling spring sports because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Walker resumed her promising track career in Tuscaloosa County.

At ECA, Walker was coached by her father, Jeffrey Walker.

Walker won the Class 1A girls 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles several times during her career as a Lady Eagle.
