Born December 29, 1927, Washington, D.C. Died June 15, 1985.

Forced to concentrate on the 200 meters because of chronic leg problems in the shorter sprints, Andy Stanfield became one of the best furlong sprinters of all time, competing in two Olympic Games, winning two gold medals and a silver.

Also an excellent long jumper and low hurdler at Seton Hall University, Stanfield won the AAU 220 title in 1949 but didn't appear on the Olympic scene until 1952 when he won the 200 and ran on the winning 4 x 100 relay at Helsinki. He again made the Olympic team in 1956 and finished second to fellow Hall of Famer Bobby Morrow in the 200 at Melbourne. Stanfield three times tied the world 200 record of 20.6 and also ran on the U.S. team that set a world record in the 4 x 220 relay in 1956. Overall, he won four National AAU titles, including three in the 220-200. After college, Stanfield competed for the New York Pioneer Club, where he was coached by Joe Yancey, also a Hall of Fame member.
