Being a scholarship student-athlete has meant a lot to Durham during and after his time at Maryland. He explained that the opportunity to be on scholarship was something he never took for granted and was an experience that opened a lot of doors for his future.
“I was always very aware of how much responsibility I had, how blessed I was, and how lucky I was to be in the position I was in to be competing as a scholarship athlete,” he said. “I never took it for granted, so I think that made me appreciate the experience all the more.”
Durham felt that this opportunity was very beneficial to him, as it taught him important life skills, including responsibility and work ethic, which are still very important to him today. He also emphasized that being able to graduate with a degree from a prestigious university was something that was not only beneficial to him but was also very important to his family.
“Having that degree, I’m the first person in my family to have a four-year degree from a major University. That really helped pave the way for my little sister and my niece and my nephew to be able to follow in my footsteps,” said Durham, who earned his Bachelor of Science in 2008.
Some of Durham's favorite moments attending Maryland came both on and off the track. Hosting the ACC Championships in 2007 and competing at the NCAA Track and Field Championships that same year in Sacramento, California, were some of his proudest moments.
“That was great to be able to have all the big-name schools come to campus and be on our turf. That was a great experience because you not only get to show out for your family, but you [now] get to show out for your friends, your people from the dining hall, your boys on the football team,” he said.
Durham placed fifth in the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA East Regional as a senior, which qualified him for Nationals on the West Coast. He also ran an IC4A and NCAA Regional time of 51.48 in the 400-meter hurdles at the ACC Championships to place fourth.
