HIGHLIGHTED STATS
1:51.72
800 METERS
“Kyle has more range than any athlete I’ve coached. His best event is the 800, but he can easily drop down to the 400 and he can move up to the 5K. His work ethic is contagious and perhaps his biggest contribution is the example he has set and the legacy he’s left behind.”
Rick Spencer
Head Coach - Weddington coach

Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-3, 135-pound senior won the 800-meter run with a time of 1:51.72 at the Class 3A state meet this past season, leading the Warriors to the state championship as a team. Durham also ran the lead leg on the first-place 4x400 relay and took second in the 1600. At the New Balance Nationals Outdoor earlier this month, he anchored the 4x800 relay quartet to a silver medal.

Academic Achievement


Durham has maintained a 3.34 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete in track and field on scholarship at North Carolina State University beginning this fall.

Exemplary Character


A talented musician, Durham has volunteered locally on behalf of Samaritan’s Purse, an international, non-denominational, evangelical Christian disaster relief organization.
