Anderson has competed a combined seven seasons for the Harlan High School cross country and track and field teams heading into her final track season this spring. Anderson was part of a cross country team that finished seventh at the 3A state meet last fall. She earned all-conference honors and also qualified for state as a junior.

"We welcome Olivia to our women's cross country and track and field teams," said Northwestern head coach Scott Bahrke. "We are happy that she is continuing her running career as Red Raider. Olivia's love for running and warm personality will fit in well with our team."

Anderson was named academic all-state and is a two-year member of the National Honor Society. She plans to study Biology / Health Professions / Pre-Med at Northwestern and is the daughter of Brian and Jennifer.
