TMU track star
Jack Anderson, the recent winner of the NAIA Men's Cross Country Championship, competed in the Sharon Colyear Invitational this past weekend in Boston, Mass.
The 5K race, which brought together over 200 of the most elite runners in the country, was hosted by Boston University at their indoor track.
Anderson completed the 5000m in 14:00.29, the third fastest 5K time in The Master's men's program history, and the third fastest indoor 5K time ever in the NAIA.
"I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to travel to Boston to race against some great competition," Anderson said. "It was my first time racing 5K on the track and I learned some valuable lessons from it that I will take into the 2026 season."
The competitors were primarily NCAA Division 1 athletes as well as unattached runners who are considered Olympic caliber.
Anderson was the only NAIA runner in the event.
The Master's will start their Indoor Track season on Jan. 31 in Santa Barbara, Calif in a Tri-Meet against Vanguard and Westmont. To see the complete schedule for the indoor/outdoor season, click
