Lindsey Anderson, who is the current head cross country coach and distance coach at the University of Missouri, finished her career at Weber State as a two-time All-American in the 3000m steeplechase and the indoor 5K. She set school records in the 3000m steeplechase and 10K during the outdoor season and in the indoor 5K as well while running with the Wildcats. Anderson, who was born in Payson Utah and attended high school in Morgan, Utah, won six Bix Sky individual championships while taking three conference titles in relay competitions for the Wildcats. Anderson was also named the Big Sky's Track Athlete of the Meet twice and was selected as the league's representative for the NCAA Woman of the Year award in 2007. 
 
In July of 2008, Anderson became the first student-athlete from Weber State to qualify for the Summer Olympics after finishing second overall at the U.S. Olympic Trials for the steeplechase, posting a personal-best time of 9:30.75 to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Anderson's success in the steeplechase has also led her to the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany and most recently she qualified for and competed in the 2020 Olympics Marathon Trial in Atlanta, Georgia, finishing in the top 10 percent.
 
Anderson was ranked ninth on the Big Sky Conference's list of "25 Greatest Female Athletes of All-Time back in 2014, while being inducted into Weber State's Hall of Fame in 2017.
