Andy Trouard

Andy Trouard (born April 22, 1994) is a professional American Distance runner who competes in the 5000m for the Oregon Track Club Elite[1] and has a personal best in the event of 13:21.07.

After competing in swimming and winning two state titles, Trouard decided to go out for Track & Field his junior year, his first time competitively running for his high school.

In a field of 54 individuals, Trouard came in 22nd place, running a 2:01.50,[9] a new personal best but not fast enough to compete for a state title.

About a month later, on April 20, Trouard raced at the Mario Castro Invitational verses Ryan Silva, who had run a 4:08 1600m just two weeks prior.

In the fall of his senior year, Trouard decided to compete in cross country and ran a season best of 14:59.3 for 5,000m during his sectional race.

The next week, Trouard competed in the Arizona Division II Cross Country Championships and would win by seventeen seconds in a time of 16:02.0 for the 5,000m distance.

[25] This broke the previous school record of 4:16.34 set by Bryce Livingston in 2006 and would rank him the eleventh fastest miler in the nation by the end of the season.

[33] Trouard did not compete during the Cross Country season as he was continuing rehabilitation on his Achilles (see "Outdoor Track" under 2.1.3 for more information).
