Alicia Guerrero is of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, an Indigenous Nation that is located in northwestern California. She throws shotput and discus in the F64 category for Team USA. She currently ranks No. 1 in shotput for the F64 category after previously placing second at the U.S. national championship in 2022. Additionally, Guerrero plays wheelchair basketball for the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and hopes to start an ambulatory throwing team there as well.
I've come from a long line of strong, Indigenous women, including my mother. So when I'm out there training, I very much think like I'm doing it for them.
