The epitome of a student-athlete, Andy Bloom was one of the most outstanding track and field athletes in Wake Forest, ACC and NCAA history.

Bloom was a four-time All-American and a six-time All-ACC selection who split his honors equally between shot put and discus competitions. Twice he was named Most Outstanding Performer in the ACC Championships and he won four ACC titles during the indoor season.

Voted into the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Bloom was equally successful in the classroom. The 1994 Edwin G. Wilson Student-Athlete of the Year, Bloom was a two-time Academic All-American and a 1996 ACC Postgraduate Scholarship recipient.

He went on to represent the United States in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. He placed fourth in the shot put, missing a medal by 13 inches.
