Notes: Despite an abbreviated high school career due to COVID, Harris left her mark at Eaton High School. Playing for Coach Diane Wilson, she was a 2019 All-District Honorable Mention and a 2020 All-District Second Team selection. A team captain and media representative in 2021, she was named to the AVCA High School All-America Second Team, was the District 4-6A Hitter of the Year and All-District First Teamer, and added UIL Region 1-6A All-Tournament Team honors. Her efforts helped the Eagles capture a district championship and regional runner-up finish in 2020 and another regional runner-up finish in 2021. She ends her time at Eaton with the program's individual records in hitting percentage (.342) and blocks (279), adding 734 kills (2.4/set) to her totals.
At the club level, she played for Coach Ping Cao's Texas Advantage Volleyball team from 2018-21. In 2020, the team won both the Lone Star and the Tour of Texas championships. Harris and TAV then repeated in 2021, winning both championships en route to a third-place finish at the National Championships. She will play her senior club season with Coach Ryan Mitchell's Dallas Skyline 2022 squad.
Harris will join the Phoenix next fall for the 2022 season.
