Analysis: Liam Anderson came on very strong during last year's postseason. During the regular season at some of the bigger races like the Asics Clovis Invitational and the Stanford Invitational he finished in the teens. As the season progressed he started to work his way up the results board. At Mt SAC he finished eighth and then finished second at the CIF state cross country championships. That second-place finish earned him a spot on the line at NXN where he placed 22nd. With a year of national experience under his belt, watch for Anderson to pick up where he left off last season.
