Dalhousie Tigers track and field head coach Rich Lehman is pleased to announce the commitment of Ruby Harris for the 2025-26 season.
Hailing from Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Harris is a member of the Nova Scotia/Nunavut Track and Field Team and Parkview Education Centre Track and Field Team. Specializing in sprints and middle-distance events, Harris is the three-time School Sport Nova Scotia 400m provincial champion. Harris also earned Parkview Education Centre Female Rookie Athlete of the Year and Female Track MVP for 2023 and 2024. She currently has personal best times of 26.7 seconds in the 200m, 58.28 seconds in the 400m, 1:05.76 seconds in the 400mH and 2:19 in the 800m.
“I am excited to be a part of the Tigers team and look forward to doing what I can to contribute to their continued success,” says Harris. “Dal felt like a good fit for me both in terms of the program I was interested in and also the athletics side of things.”
An honour roll student, Harris will be studying kinesiology at Dalhousie University.
"We are thrilled to officially welcome Ruby Harris to our program,” says speed and power coach Tim Brennan. “Ruby will make an immediate impact within our long sprints and mid distance groups and contribute to nationally competitive relay teams.”
The Tigers open their 2024-25 season on January 18 when they compete in Athletics Nova Scotia Open at the Canada Games Centre in Halifax.
