Anderson was Norfolk State’s first NCAA Division I female track & field athlete to earn All-American honors. She competed for the Spartans from 1997-2000 and ran the 200-meter and 400-meter events. At the 2000 NCAA National Championship Track & Field meet, Anderson was the runner-up in the indoor women’s 200-meter race and finished sixth in the outdoor women’s 400-meter race. Her second-place finish at the indoor race remains the best finish by a Spartan track & field athlete. 

After college, Anderson had a decorated professional career as a USA Track & Field team member. She won the gold medal at the 2010 World Indoor Championship in the 400-meter and 4x400 relay. In 2009, she placed sixth in the 400-meter race but helped the 4x400 relay team win gold.
