'''Briane Harris''' (born March 11, 1992, as '''Briane Meilleur''') is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] [[curling|curler]] from [[Petersfield, Manitoba]].<ref name="Media Guide">{{Cite web|url=https://www.curling.ca/files/2021/02/2021-Scotties-Tournament-of-Hearts-media-guide-1.pdf|title=2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts Media Guide|website=Curling Canada|access-date=February 16, 2021}}</ref>
Harris was a member of the [[Kerri Einarson]] rink from 2018 until being suspended from competitive curling in 2024 due to testing positive for [[Ligandrol]], which she was found to have not been responsible for. With Einarson, Harris is a four-time [[Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] champion, winning the title in {{STOH|2020}}, {{STOH|2021}}, {{STOH|2022}} and {{STOH|2023}}. She has also won four [[Grand Slam of Curling]] events with the Einarson rink.
==Career== Harris had a fairly successful junior career playing third for [[Breanne Knapp]], winning the [[Manitoba]] junior title in 2010 and 2011 and competing in the [[2010 Canadian Junior Curling Championships|2010]] and [[2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships]]. She won the bronze medal in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://teamkerrieinarson.com/team/|title=Team {{!}} TEAM KERRI EINARSON|website=teamkerrieinarson.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-09}}</ref>
She began her senior career as a skip in the [[2011–12 curling season|2011–12 season]], and played in her first [[Grand Slam of Curling|Grand Slam]], the [[2011 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic]].
After playing for several different teams, she began to skip her own rink again in the [[2016–17 curling season|2016–17]] and [[2017–18 curling season|2017–18 season]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://winnipegsun.com/2016/10/05/curler-home-despite-tears/wcm/8b9e9fac-8a50-4a37-bc06-e0ae14efccbc|title=Curler home, despite tears|last=Bender|first=Jim|date=October 5, 2016|work=Winnipeg Sun|access-date=October 5, 2016}}</ref> She competed in the [[2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials|2017 Road to the Roar Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials]] with Breanne Knapp, [[Janelle Vachon]], and [[Sarah Neufeld (curler)|Sarah Neufeld]], but the team missed out on a chance to qualify for the trials following losses to [[Julie Tippin]] and [[Krista McCarville]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/curling/manitoba-squads-fail-to-advance-to-olympic-curling-trials-457051933.html|title=Manitoba curlers shut out at pre-trials|last=Bell|first=Jason|date=2017-11-12|work=Winnipeg Free Press|access-date=2018-11-09}}</ref>
For the [[2018–19 curling season|2018–19 season]], Harris joined [[Kerri Einarson]]'s new team as the lead. The team gained some attention for being made up entirely of former skips.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/curling/kerri-einarsons-new-team-committed-embracing-different-roles/|title=Kerri Einarson's new team committed to embracing different roles|last=Brazeau|first=Jonathan|date=February 16, 2018|work=Sportsnet|access-date=October 31, 2018}}</ref> They began the season by winning three straight [[2018–19 curling season#Women's events|World Curling Tour]] events in three weeks: the 2018 [[Stu Sells Oakville Tankard]], the inaugural [[Morris SunSpiel]] and then the [[Mother Club Fall Curling Classic]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/wct-recap-team-einarson-keeps-rolling-with-third-win-of-season-1.1179425|title=WCT Recap: Team Einarson keeps rolling with third win of season - TSN.ca|date=2018-09-24|work=TSN|access-date=2018-10-05}}</ref> with a fourth win at the [[2018 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic|Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Classic]] in October.<ref name="cbc2018">{{cite news |last1=Spencer |first1=Donna |title=Canadian women's rink proving 4 skips as good — or better — than 1 |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/curling/einarson-rink-canada-women-curling-1.4855442 |accessdate=9 October 2018 |agency=The Canadian Press |publisher=CBC Sports |date=9 October 2018}}</ref> In December, the team lost in the finals of the [[2018 Canada Cup]] and [[2018 National]]. Their strong play during the early part of the season earned them enough points to put team Einarson in the Wild Card game at the [[2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]]. However the team lost to the lower ranked [[Casey Scheidegger]] rink. The team would rebound to have a strong finish at the end of the season, winning the [[2019 Players' Championship]] and losing in the final of the [[2019 Champions Cup]].
Team Einarson had two playoff finishes at the first two Slams of the [[2019–20 curling season|2019–20 season]], losing to [[Anna Hasselborg]] in the quarterfinal of the [[2019 Masters (curling)|Masters]] and once again to Hasselborg in the final of the [[Tour Challenge]]. The team did not have the same success at the [[2019 Canada Cup|Canada Cup]] as they did in 2018, finishing with a 2–4 record. However, at the [[2020 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts]], her team succeeded. They finished the round robin and championship round with a 7–1 record which qualified them for the final. In the final, they defeated [[Jennifer Jones (curler)|Jennifer Jones]]. It was Harris' first [[Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] provincial title. Team Einarson represented Manitoba at the [[2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]], where they continued their success. They finished first in the round robin with a 9–2 record and then won the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game, qualifying them for the final. Harris would win her first Canadian Championship when they defeated [[Rachel Homan]] 8–7 in and extra end.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Kerri Einarson wins Canadian women's curling championship|author=Donna Spencer|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/curling/kerri-einarson-wins-scotties-tournament-of-hearts-1.5473368|website=[[CBC Sports]]|publisher=[[The Canadian Press]]|date=February 23, 2020}}</ref> The team was set to represent Canada at the [[2020 World Women's Curling Championship]] before the event got cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cp-newsalert-world-women-s-curling-championship-cancelled-1.1456723|title=World Women's Curling Championship Cancelled|website=The Sports Network|author=The Canadian Press|date=March 12, 2020|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://worldcurling.org/2020/03/wwcc2020-cancelled/|title=World Women's Curling Championship 2020 cancelled in Prince George, Canada|date=March 12, 2020|website=World Curling Federation|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref> The Scotties would be their last event of the season as both the [[Players' Championship]] and the [[Champions Cup (curling)|Champions Cup]] Grand Slam events were also cancelled due to the pandemic.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-cancels-remaining-events-of-2019-20-season/|title=GSOC cancels remaining events of 2019–20 season|website=Grand Slam of Curling|date=March 13, 2020|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref>
Team Einarson returned to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in [[2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts|2021]] as Team Canada. They went 7–1 in the round robin, with their only loss coming against Ontario's Rachel Homan. This qualified them for the championship round.

The team made it to the semifinals of the [[2021 Champions Cup (curling)|2021 Champions Cup]] where they lost to Team Homan, but got their revenge at the [[2021 Players' Championship]] a week later, where they beat Homan in the final.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/einarson-tops-homan-to-defend-players-championship-womens-title/|title=Einarson tops Homan to defend Players' Championship women's title|author=Jonathan Brazeau|work=Grand Slam of Curling|date=April 25, 2021|access-date=April 25, 2021}}</ref> The following week, Team Einarson represented Canada at the [[2021 World Women's Curling Championship]].

The Einarson rink had a slow start to the [[2021–22 curling season|2021–22 season]], failing to win any of their first five tour events. Their best finish came at the [[2021 Sherwood Park Women's Curling Classic]] where they lost in the final to [[Tracy Fleury]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/tracy-fleury-kerri-einarson-sherwood-park-women-s-curling-classic-1.1695643|title=Fleury edges Scotties champion Einarson to win Sherwood Park Women's Curling Classic|publisher=TSN|date=September 19, 2021|access-date=June 18, 2022}}</ref> The team reached the quarterfinals of the [[2021 Masters (curling)|2021 Masters]], however, then missed the playoffs at the [[2021 National]]. At the [[2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]], the team went through the round robin with a 4–4 record. This earned them a spot in the first tiebreaker, where they defeated [[Casey Scheidegger]] 8–6. They then faced [[Krista McCarville]] in the second tiebreaker, where they lost 4–3 and were eliminated.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/mccarville-edges-einarson-for-spot-in-olympic-trials-semifinal-4805998|title=McCarville edges Einarson for spot in Olympic Trials semifinal|publisher=Thunder Bay News Watch|author=Leith Dunick|date=November 27, 2021|access-date=June 18, 2022}}</ref> The team's next event was the [[2022 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] in [[Thunder Bay]], [[Ontario]]. Through the round robin, the defending Scotties champions posted a perfect 8–0 record, earning a spot in the playoffs. They then lost in the seeding round to New Brunswick's [[Andrea Crawford]], meaning they would have to win three straight games to defend their championship title. In the playoffs, the team won the 3 vs. 4 page playoff against Team Fleury and then defeated New Brunswick's Crawford in the semifinal to reach the Scotties final where they would face Northern Ontario's McCarville rink.

They then went on to represent Canada at the [[2022 World Women's Curling Championship]], where they fared much better than in 2021. The team finished the round robin tied for second place with a 9–3 record, however, due to their draw shot challenge, finished third overall. This placed them in the qualification game where they defeated Denmark's [[Madeleine Dupont]] to advance to the semifinal. There, they took on South Korea's [[Kim Eun-jung (curler)|Kim Eun-jung]]. After taking control in the seventh end, South Korea stole the ninth and tenth ends to hand the Canadian team a 9–6 loss.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2022/03/27/crushing-defeat/|title=Crushing defeat|publisher=Curling Canada|date=March 27, 2022|access-date=June 18, 2022}}</ref> They were able to rebound in the bronze medal game with an 8–7 victory over Sweden's [[Anna Hasselborg]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/canadas-einarson-wins-bronze-at-world-womens-curling-championship/|title=Canada's Einarson wins bronze at world women's curling championship|publisher=CTV News Winnipeg|date=March 27, 2022|access-date=June 18, 2022}}</ref> Team Einarson wrapped up their season at the final two Slams of the season.

Once there, however, they lost both their games to Team Homan and Manitoba's [[Kate Cameron (curler)|Kate Cameron]], eliminating them from contention and ending their chance of a record setting fifth straight Scotties title.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2024/02/24/the-champ-bows-out/|title=The Champ Bows Out|publisher=Curling Canada|date=February 24, 2024|access-date=April 13, 2024}}</ref> Following the event, in March, it was revealed that Harris had been provisionally suspended for up to four years for testing positive for [[Ligandrol]], a banned substance.
