Joshua Thurmond '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Joshua Thurmond. I am 17 years old and as a young kid I always had a dream of playing sports at a high level. My family was always there for me to push me every step of the way to fulfill that dream and just to nurture me to be a be the best man that I could be as well. I’ve been running track almost all my Whole life. I started running for an actual track organization at the age of 9 named Westside Baptist track club. I had some great coaches that pushed me and were also like father figures to me. They were very hard on me but they saw the potential in me to do something great in life.I’ve ran indoor track, went to TAAF State, and even went to AAU Nationals. As for school I never really liked it but I would do my work and complete it. I would never struggle from the work standpoint, but would struggle from the aspect that we had to be there for 8 hour. That’s y I know in college that will change because you get to pick the schedule that’s best for you. I will try my very best to reach goals in college to start my life off right.
