Close

At the 2010 USA Junior Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, Harris finished third in the 100 metres (10.48 s), behind Mike Granger (10.30 s) and Charles Silmon (10.33 s). He finished runner-up in the 200 metres (21.53 s) behind Oliver Bradwell (21.48 s).[1]

Teaming up with Silmon, Granger, and Bradwell in the 4 x 100 metres relay at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, Harris helped the U.S. to a winning time of 38.93 sec, which was the second-fastest ever at the World Junior Championships (behind the 38.66 s WJR ran by the 2004 U.S. squad).[2] Harris also participated in the 200 metres, but did not make it past the semifinal round.[3]
