Max Thomas

Max Thomas didn’t set out to be a sprinter. A standout soccer player with his sights set on the next level, he once told his father, a track coach, that he would never run. That all changed in his senior year of high school, when he traded cleats for spikes and discovered a new path. What followed was a rapid rise through the collegiate ranks, developing into a standout in the 100m and 200m. His background in soccer still shapes his approach, bringing discipline, coordination and competitive instinct into every race. Now competing professionally, Max continues to build on that foundation, focused on refining his craft and taking ownership of his progression on the global stage.
