Scott Anderson (born January 30, 1974), nicknamed "Slicko", [3] is a runner who specialized in middle-distance and long-distance disciplines in competitive track and field. Although Anderson never competed in the Olympics, at one point he was one of the brightest track prospects in the United States. [3] He finished in eighth place out of nine competitors in the first heat of the preliminary round for the 1500-meter race at the 1996 US Olympic Trials. [4]
A four-time All-American with Princeton University's track team, Anderson is one of the few known athletes to have run the mile race in under 4 minutes as a non-professional Ivy League athlete. [5] He ran his fastest college-competition mile for Princeton in a time of 3:59.80 (min:sec) on July 14, 1998. [5]
On January 9, 1999, Anderson ran the indoor mile at the 1999 New Balance Games at New York. [6] On December 31, 1999, he ran the Millennium Mile road race in a course-record time of 3:51. [2] He ran his fastest track mile on August 8, 2000 at a time of 3:59.76. [1] On January 20, 2001, Anderson helped push current American Record holder in the mile, Alan Webb, to the first ever North American High School sub-4 minute indoor mile, while wearing a Letsrun.com [7] singlet.
