Tucker All-state in shot put from The Chronicle - Thursday June 8, 2000
NEW BRITAIN - Becky Tucker won the shot put as the E.O. Smith girls track and field team finished fifth in the CIAC State Open at Willow Brook Park on Wednesday afternoon. Tucker, the 2000 Class MM champion, had a winning throw of 38 feet, 8 inches. Frances Russell was third in the 1,600 meters (5:11) and fifth in the 3,200 (11:29). Karen Roy finished sixth in the 1,600 (5:14). Carly Fraser placed fourth in the high jump (5-0). "The kids made us proud," E.O. Smith girls track and field coach Jorge Guerra said. "We had a very good season." "Becky has been her best in the top meets. I wasn't surprised she won." Tucker, Russell, Roy and Fraser qualified for the New Englands this Saturday in South Portland, Maine.


For Tucker MM good: from The Hartford Courant - Wednesday May 31, 2000
Becky Tucker was happy to return to the Class MM meet. The E.O. Smith-Storrs junior won the shot put in the MM meet two years ago and figured her team returning to that class was a good omen. Last year, she competed in Class L meet and didn't finish in the top three. ``I was ready to do well here,'' Tucker said. She did. She won the shot put with a personal best 39-6, improving on her previous best of 38-4. She made her winning throw on her first attempt. Tucker went on to finish fifth in the discus (104-9).
