About Andre Morris

Born 1972. Andre Morris is an American athletics competitor.

Andre Morris (born October 26, 1972) is an American former sprint runner. He was part of American 4 × 400 m relay teams that won gold medals at the 1995 Summer Universiade and 1999 IAAF World Indoor Championships, setting a world indoor record in 1999.

Early life and family Morris was one of five children born to Frankie Morris. He has one sister and three brothers.

Morris attended Russellville High School in Russellville, Kentucky. He was named a Blue Chip All-American in football three times. He also competed on the track and field team, winning state titles in the 400 m and the 4 × 400 m relay.

In 1994 and 1996, Morris was named an NCAA Division I All-American in the 4 × 400 m relay and in 1995, he was an All-American in the 400 m. He graduated in summer 1996 with a bachelor's degree in art history. The team received $60,000 for the feat. The record was broken in 2015.

Despite his success, Morris told The Gazette in 1999, "I hate track. I'm doing it because I can do it. I love football more than anything." That year, he joined the semi-professional Iowa Tractors for their inaugural season in the South Central Football League, playing wide receiver, running back and returning punts and kickoffs. After a successful stint with the Tractors, he tried out for the National Football League's Carolina Panthers, but was hampered by a knee injury.
