Lindsay Anderson winner of the freshman mile with her dad, Greg and sister, Krista. Making the most of the weather in North Dakota the Anderson sisters workout inside on the treadmill. It worked for both of them. Lindsay took first and Krista second in the 2 Mile. They live in Leeds ND, a city of about 630 population. So it's no surprise that they are the only 2 athletes on the cross country team. |
