Kenny Harrison (born Kerry Harrison, February 13, 1965 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States) is a former track and field athlete competing in triple jump.
Harrison went to Brookfield Central for high school, where he competed in football, basketball and track. He holds schools records in the long, high, and triple jump. His triple jump of 52 feet 4.5 inches at the 1983 Golden West Invitational ranked him #2 triple jump prep in the nation, and currently stands as the Wisconsin high school #1 all-time triple jump by over 2 feet. That mark also ranks on the top 10 list for the Golden West Invitational. He also had a personal best in the long jump of 23 feet 4 inches, which ranks among the top 35 in Wisconsin high school track & field history and a high jump of 6 feet 7 inches. He held the Wisconsin state meet triple jump record of 48' 6.25" for 22 years, from 1983 to 2005.
Harrison attended college at Kansas State University, where he captured three individual titles at the NCAA Championships, the most in school history. He was a 8-time Big 12 Conference individual champion in both indoor and outdoor long and triple jump. He holds school records in indoor long jump (26' 9.75") and outdoor long and triple jump (26' 11.5" and 56'0", respectively).
Harrison is the first K-State Track and Field athlete to be inducted into the Kansas State University Athletic Hall of Fame. The former Wildcat letterman was an 11-time NCAA All-American during his time at Kansas State University from 1984-88. Competing primarily in jumps, Harrison won NCAA indoor titles in the long jump in 1986 and the triple jump in 1988. He also won the NCAA outdoor triple jump crown in 1986 as well as being a three-time runner up in the NCAA Championships. Along with numerous accolades on the national stage, Harrison was a 15-time Big 8 Champion and still holds as of 2015 the school records in the indoor and outdoor long jump and outdoor triple jump.
