Tucker took third at the USATF U20 Championships earlier this month with a career-best and state-record clocking of 45.15 seconds in the 400-meter dash, which ranked No. 3 nationally among prep boys competitors in 2026 and No. 9 in prep history. At the state meet in the 200, his winning time of 20.66 was a personal-best and ranked No. 8 nationally this spring as well as No. 66 in prep history.
