Byron Harris was simply one of the greatest sprinters in UT history. He was an All-American in the 60-yard dash in 1983, as well as a two-time MAC and CCC champion in the 60-yard dash. As a junior, he was an NCAA qualifier, an NCAA All-American and a MAC champion in the 100-meter dash. As a senior in 1984, he became UT's record holder in the 100-meter dash (10.30) and MAC champion in the 400-meter relay (40.96). He still owns the second fastest 200-meter time of any UT athlete (21.01) and the fastest indoors 55-meter time (6.13). Harris is in his 18th year as a teacher in the Toledo Public Schools and is also a bible teacher at the Christian Fellowship Church.
Harris was named the top women's basketball player in the Mid-American Conference for the 1992-93 season, when she averaged 21.1 points per game and shot a conference record 64 percent from the floor. She was an All-American candidate that year and was named All-American honorable mention by Basketball Times magazine. Harris, who scored in double figures every game as a junior and senior, finished her collegiate career with 1,466 points and 833 rebounds, eighth and sixth all-time at UT respectively. She holds the school and conference record for career field goal percentage (.623), and ranks second in blocked shots (70) and rebounding average (9.2 per game).
