Tatum has been an integral part of the success of our athletic programs while competing at Arthur L. Johnson High School. More importantly, she has been a model student athlete that did things the right way both on the field, in the classroom, and throughout our community. Although it will be sad to see her leave, the Crusader’s loss is Towson’s gain, and we look forward to following her successful collegiate athletic career over the next four years.
Crusader Athletics would like to wish the best of luck to Tatum as she culminates her wonderful career for the Crusaders this year and continues her academic and athletic success as a collegiate student athlete.
