Sandia High School graduate laces up for US Olympic trials

Adriana Tatum will be running in the first heat of the first round of the women's 100-meter trials Friday night.

A Sandia High School graduate is running at the U.S. Olympic trials – in not one, but two races.

Sandia grad Adriana Tatum accepted and declared to run in the 100-meter and 200-meter races. She will be competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team with the best sprinters the country has to offer. She’s already made history as a high schooler and at Arizona State University.

Tatum says it’s surreal to be competing against women she’s watched growing up, like Gabby Thomas and Sha’Carri Richardson.
