Christian Harris
2025 XC/Track Athlete from Morton High School
My name is Christian Harris, class of 2025. I run cross country and track at Morton High School in Illinois. As a junior, I ran 4:19 for the 1600, 2:01 for the 800 (1:58 4×800 split), and 15:39 for the 3 mile. My goals for this upcoming cross country season are to win the 2A Illinois state individual title and go under 14:30 for the 3 mile. My goals for my senior track season are to run sub 4:10 for the 1600, sub 9:00 for the 3200, and sub 1:55 for the 800.
I wholeheartedly love the sport and am dedicated to it fully. I also share my drive for running in the classroom as well. I have maintained a 3.875 unweighted GPA throughout high school, while taking AP and honors classes. This year I’m taking 2 Dual-Credit Courses, and 2 online college classes. As for running, I value consistency and understand that it’s an important part of my long term success. I understand that it takes hard work and grit to get to where I want to be, and I fully embrace that. I’m very passionate about running and I strive to imprint that same passion on my teammates as a leader.
I am excited to challenge myself throughout the rest of highschool athletically and academically while going after my goals. I look forward to continuing my athletic and academic career at the collegiate level, and am excited about every step of the journey.
