Runner finally has time for right girl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harriet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'girl' is the definition.

'runner finally has time for right' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'runner' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found within the answer.
'right' could be 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ar' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hie' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harriet that I've seen before include "girl" , "I rather (anag) - girl's name" .)
