The 5-foot-4 senior won two individual state championships and anchored the winning 4x100-meter relay quartet at the Class 4A state meet this past season. Clark won the 100-meter dash in 11.72 seconds and captured the 200 dash in 23.59, which ranked as the nation's No. 18 performance among prep competitors in 2017 at the time of her selection.
Clark has maintained a 3.39 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete on an athletic scholarship at the University of Alabama this fall.
Clark has volunteered locally on behalf of youth running programs and has delivered motivational speeches at area middle schools. "Tamara has always worked very hard to be better," said High Point coach Wayne Jones. "She's been a team leader, and she always came to compete."
