Back in her early 20s, she was a student at the University of Tampa and an aspiring fitness model, but one night would change her life forever. An unprovoked attack by her ex-boyfriend left her with horrific injuries - she was left paralyzed from the chest down with limited use of her arms and hands and the loss of her left eye. Years on, Tracy is on the verge of representing Team USA in Paris and after everything that has happened, she told Sportshour's Caroline Barker just how determined she is to get there.
