Anderson followed up his city championship with the individual title in last Thursday's United Kansas Conference meet at Pierson Park in Kansas City, Kan.
Anderson won the UKC title in a five-kilometer time of 16 minutes, 21.42 seconds, leading the Vikings to a second-place team finish behind conference champion De Soto.
In just his second year of high school cross country, Anderson captured his first UKC title after winning his first city crown a week earlier and has posted five individual wins on the season.

Borjon finished third with a 36-hole total of 157, carding rounds of 76 and 81 as the Wildcats repeated as the team champ by a 15-stroke margin over runnerup Wellington (698-713).
The Hayden standout is now a three-time state medalist, finishing 20th as a freshman for the third-place Wildcats and placing 15th as a sophomore as Hayden won the team crown by 37 strokes.
