Anderson University Women's Cross Country
Dear Trojan Army,
Greetings from Anderson University Women’s Cross-Country! On behalf of our Trojans, I would like to thank you for supporting our mission of providing an exceptional academic and athletic experience for our student-athletes.
As Women’s Cross-Country coach, your generosity ensures that each student-athlete can have fun, explore their faith, form relationships, and build accountability within their teams. Additionally, Anderson University Athletics continually leads the South Atlantic Conference in academic standing and consistently breaks school records in competition and in the classroom each year!
Gifts to the Trojan Athletic Fund and Women’s Cross-Country has supported our athletes in both their academic and athletic careers. Recently, Olivia Rish, Whiney Hanson, and Faith Nelson were named to the USTFCCCA All-Region team, with Hanson and Rish also being named All-SAC. We have won three races in the past two seasons, including Melea Sangl winning an event individually. Along with winning the Run the Berry XC Festival and having multiple top-five finishes in 2021, the team qualified for its' third NCAA Championship in program history.
Anderson University Women’s Cross-Country thanks you and we look forward to seeing you at our meets soon!
Go Trojans!
Coach Kevin Eagle
