A trail running, ultra-marathon, and mountaineering specialist, he earned a silver medal at the 2016 IAU 50 km World Championships[2] and, in 2019, he won the USA Track and Field 50 Mile National Championship by winning Tussey Mountainback 50 Miler.[2] As of 2024, Andrews competes for La Sportiva's professional team.[3]

Andrews has set more than 65 Fastest known time running records, including the speed records for ascent and descent of Mt. Kilimanjaro[4] and Mt. Aconcagua[5] in 2023, the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trail[6] in 2024, and Ojos del Salado in 2021.[7]

In addition, Andrews qualified for and ran in the 2016 and 2020 United States Olympic Trials Marathon, qualifying with a 10th place, 2-hour, 16-minute, 59-second finish at the 2014 California International Marathon[8] and a 2-hour, 17-minute, 44-second finish to win the 2018 Vermont City Marathon.[9]
