Nike Cross Nationals champion Tanner Anderson has committed to the University of Oregon, per the North Central, Wa. senior's Facebook page.
Anderson led the national cross country championship wire-to-wire in 15:11 for 5k at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Ore. on Saturday, Dec. 6. He also clocked the fastest 5k time in state history in defending his WIAA State Championship title in 14:31.7.
The Ducks gain a true team player in adding the Spokane, Wa. native to their roster.
Anderson forewent the chance to compete at Foot Locker Nationals in order to race NXN with his teammates. The team landed a surprising podium finish, scoring 178 points for third overall.
The Ducks finished in sixth place at the 2014 NCAA DI XC Championships with 221 points in Terre Haute, Ind.
The prospect returns to the outdoor track circuit this spring with personal records of 4:13.0 for 1,600m and 8:56.8 for 3,200m.
