Born July 5, 1981 in Washington, DC, Andre Sturdivant is a new up and coming name to the track and field world. Raised by a single mother, Sturdivant naturally views his mom as his greatest role model. However, it was another role model in that of American gold medalist Michael Johnson whom Sturdivant watched during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta that got him interested in track. Sturdivant competed in track during high school where he finished third in the state finals in the 100 meters and was the county champion two years in a row. He did not compete in track during college as he focused on his academics at Montgomery College in 2002 and finished his studies in computer science at the University of Maryland in 2004.  

Since college Sturdivant has resurrected his track career and is currently coached by his agent Paul Doyle. Sturdivant has noticed great improvements over the past 6 months and recently set his PB (personal best) times with blistering runs of 10.23 in the 100 meters and 21.17 in the 200 meters on June 2nd in Atlanta, GA. His ultimate goal is to run under 10 and 20 seconds respectively and to compete at the Olympics in 2008.

 In his free time, Sturdivant works in the music industry where he helps produce music for well-known artists such as Akon and Young Joc. After his athletic career is over Sturdivant would like to start his own speed-training group and work with professional sprinters and NFL players.
