Andrew Springer | @Springeroni | Men’s Mile

Andrew ran the fastest mile in the country his senior year of high school (4:02.58) and went on to a decorated career at Georgetown that included multiple Big East Championships and All American accolades. He was a Foot Locker Nationals qualifier and won the Nike Indoor Mile title as a prep. He’ll look to deliver a sub 4 mile on August 1st in Raleigh.

5 Things About Me: Andrew Springer

1. I grew up in Westerly, Rhode Island where I was a soccer player and a beach bum.

2. I spent 5 short years at Georgetown University, learning a few things but mostly running.

3. My undergrad degree is in physics, and I did a year of grad school in Real Estate. Don’t ask why, I realize that it is a strange combination.

4. I still play Pokemon, I don’t care if its a kids game.

5. I have done many things in less than 4 minutes, including making a breakfast sandwich, showering, clearing 40 lines in tetris, and solving a rubix cube. Unfortunately, running a mile is not yet on the list, and I am hoping to change that in the near future.
