Southern Idaho Golden Eagles

Lindsey Anderson, who was hired to resurrect the CSI Cross Country and Distance Track Program in 2017, created nationally recognized teams from the start. In her first season, she led the women's team to a fourth-place finish at the NJCAA Division I Cross Country National Championships and the men to a sixth-place finish. The Golden Eagles also had the Men's Individual National Champion that year. In 2020, she led the men's team to a national runner-up finish and the women's team to a third-place finish. Anderson coached for five years at CSI, reaching the peak of coaching accomplishments with a NJCAA Division I Cross Country National Championship in 2021 on the women's side. She also was named the NJCAA Coach of the Year. Her legacy lived on the next year as the Golden Eagles, with four of the same runners, won a second straight national championship. 
Not only was she an accomplished coach but she also was a talented runner. She competed for the United States at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, in the 3000m Steeplechase. She continued her training while coaching at CSI and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the Marathon for the 2000 Olympic Games. From CSI, Anderson took her talents to the University of Missouri, where she was the head Cross Country Coach for one year. After that, she made the move back to Weber State University to coach. She started her running career at Weber State, running for the Wildcats from 2003 to 2007. She ended her collegiate career as a two-time All American in the 3000m Steeplechase and Indoor 5000m; and a school record holder in the 3000m Steeplechase, 10,000m and Indoor 5000m.
