Personal: Daughter of Mark and Glenda Harris. Majoring in nursing. Enjoys going to the beach, hanging out with friends, drawing and dancing. Lists making it to conference prelims and getting a PR in the 800 and then getting another PR the next day in the finals as her most exciting experience in sports. Said it gave her a lot of confidence and made her feel like all her hard work had finally paid off.
