Michael Stigler is no stranger to the podium. While at Canyon High in north Texas, he was already bringing home state championships and All-American honors. This trend continued with the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas, where Michael earned a degree in African American Studies, minoring in Communications. During his sophomore and junior years, Michael would bring home 2nd place at the NCAA Championships in the 400m Hurdles, however in 2015, his senior year, the elusive title of National Champion was finally earned. In a Kansas uniform, he also made a name for himself outside of the collegiate scene, as he had a silver medal performance at the 2014 USA Championships. On his drive, Michael says, "B.U and BossUp is the motto that I go by everyday. It reminds me to be myself, and to go after what I want in life on and off the track."

Family is very important to Michael, which he wears everyday with a tattoo across his chest that says, "Brothers Keeper", which mean he will always be there to support and root them on in life. He also loves music, and often finds inspiration through music by Charlie Wilson, Z-Ro, and The Beatles. His longterm aspirations include giving back to the sport as a Head Track and Field Coach at the Division I level, stating, "This would allow me to pass on my knowledge to those athletes who wish to run on the collegiate level." Outside of track, Michael has aspirations of flipping and remodeling houses.
