A Pennsylvania teenager made history as the first black woman to ever play in the top tier of U.S. polo.
Shariah Harris, 19, from southwest Philadelphia, who plays collegiately at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, mounted up Friday, June 30, for the Postage Stamp Farm polo team in the Silver Cup® tournament at the Greenwich Polo Club in Greenwich, Connecticut.
'If me playing will mean opportunities to play for other kids like me, then I'm perfectly happy to be breaking down doors,' Shariah said. 'I just keep quiet, put on my boots and go out and play.'
Effective Date: Saturday, May 16, 2020
The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
