Tahesia Harrigan (born 15 February 1982) is a sprinter from the British Virgin Islands.

Harrigan was born in the British Virgin Islands to Doris Harrigan. Harrigan's illustrious track and field career began in Tallahassee, Florida. As a 14 year old 9th grader, she carried Florida A&M University's Developmental and Research High School female track team to its first Class 1-A FHSAA ([Florida High School Athletic Assosciation]]) state track and field championship win in over ten years by sweeping the 100 metres, 200 metres, Long and Triple Jumps.

Some other highlights of her PREP career include 13 FHSAA State Championship Track and Field victories as an individual or part of a relay team in high school ( 8 of those victories being going undefeated all four years in the 100 and 200 metres, 3 in the Long Jump, 2 in the Triple Jump,).

After high school, she was approached by several reputable Florida collegiate track and field programs, but chose the University of Minnesota for its medical program. After red shirting her freshman year due to a fractured tibia, Harrigan exploded on to the university’s conference scene setting school and conference records in the women’s 60m, 100m, 200m, and the long jump. She went on that season to compete as a representative of her country (BVI) in the Central American and Caribbean Games where she had a very good first showing.

In 2004, Harrigan transferred to the University of Alabama where she honed her athletic prowess even further becoming a SEC powerhouse and a NCAA finalist. She was also able to complete her degree in Speech Pathology in 2006. She won the 100 metres race at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games, and finished 5th at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Harrigan began her career as a professional sprinter in the spring of 2007. She has competed in several professional track meets in the U.S. and abroad. Of the many sprint-oriented events she competes in, the crown jewel would have to be her current PR (personal record) in the 100 metres of 11.14 seconds.
