COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Following a strong performance in the 60-meter hurdles at last week's Potts Indoor Invitational, Air Force senior Cameron Harris was selected as the Mountain West Athlete of the Week by the conference office this afternoon (Jan. 17). It is the first career honor for the Brighton, Colo., native.
Harris became the first Falcon in six years to run a sub-eight in the hurdles last Saturday, as he raced to a career-best time of 7.92 in the preliminary round of the Potts Invitational. Clocking the eighth-fastest time in Academy history – and the fastest time in the Mountain West since 2017, the senior led all 28 runners during the prelims. Adding a 7.99 to earn the top collegiate finish in the finals and take second overall, Harris became the first Falcon since Jamiel Trimble in 2017 to account for multiple sub-eight performances in the same season (and same meet).
With his 7.92 (7.94a), Harris leads the conference and is ranked among the top 45 in the nation (43rd).
