Coach Anthony Sessions’ take: “Sydney is a true champion in every sense of the word. She’s one of the most dedicated and committed athletes I’ve ever been around. She takes her preparation and training very seriously. Obviously, she has the family pedigree as well, her mom (Lee Augmon) starred at Ohio State; so there’s a certain level of expectations and standard that comes with that. We are excited to see her close out her high school career this season and hopefully she can take home another state title and our 800-meter school record.”

She is one of many great scholar-athletes that have come out of this program. Sydney is a joy to coach and a true leader on the track. Sydney is by far one of the best female athletes to attend Buford in my time. Sydney Harris is the 400-meter county and region champion. Sydney is a fierce competitor and great teammate.”

Despite her very quiet demeanor, she is a fierce competitor on the track and has set some big goals for herself and the team this year. I look forward to helping her achieve them.
