Harris would also team up with Hlanguyo, Jesus Nichol II and Leon Tafirenyika to win the 4x400m relay with a time of 3:20.50. 

This is Harris’ first season competing with the Golden Eagles after he transferred in from Long Beach City College after the 2020 season. 

The Golden Eagles will be back in action this Saturday, Feb. 26 when they host the Cal State LA Invitational on the Jesse Owens Track.
