HARRISON LOOKING FORWARD TO FIRST FULL PROFESSIONAL SEASON: Hurdler Queen Harrison, the 2010 recipient of the Bowerman award as the top collegiate track and field athlete in the United States, will begin her first full professional year of competition at the Millrose Games.  Harrison, who won all three 2010 NCAA hurdles titles (60m indoors, 100m and 400m outdoors), told reporters via a Skype video call that she was excited to get back into competition, especially now that she doesn't have to spend time on her studies.  "I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do when I'm completely focused on track," said the Virginia Tech graduate who earned a sociology degree.  "I was actually born in New York.  What better place to start my season than where I started life?"  Harrison also told reporters that she just gotten a puppy, a Scottish Terrier named "Scotty."  The 22 year-old athlete, who is one of nine children, then picked up the dog off the floor, and held him up to her computer camera for reporters to see.
