2013 Fall Sports
Fall of 2013 was one of the most successful years in Andover High School's history when it comes to boys fall sports.

The girls' soccer team won the section championship to earn their first trip to state. The boys' soccer team went 14-4-1 for the regular season. Including an impressive 4-2 upset of number one seeded, and rival, Blaine in the finals. They then proceeded to win the section 7AA title with a 6-1 win over Saint Francis, then a 1-0 double overtime win over Duluth East, and finally a 2-1 overtime win over Centennial. In the state tournament, Andover was unseeded and drew a first round match up with number one seed Minneapolis Southwest. They proceeded to win 2-1 with strong defensive play from seniors Ben Nivala and Matt Guhl. Andover lost 2-1 to North Saint Paul in the semifinals and then tied for third place (1-1) with Edina.

The boys football team went 5-3. Connor Wilkie led the state in passing yards for much of the season, while setting the single game record with 398 yards. Chris Larson set the school receiving yards record in a game with 298 yards. Andover will participate in the section 4AAAAA section championship with Spring Lake Park. Andover had a first round bye and a 42-3 win over Irondale to get to the championship.

The band had their best season yet-they received 1st at all of their competitions along with securing multiple caption awards early on in the season. They also finished off the great season with a 2nd place title at the Youth in Music Marching Band State Championships.

2011-2012
Boys Track and Field won True Team, section 4AAA champs, NWSC champs and 7AA champs.

In 2011, one of the judges recognized one of the drill sets that the band did as excellent and something that he had never seen before in other high school bands.
