Kimberly Anderson is best described as Faith, Family, Fitness and one of Hartsville South Carolina’s standout athletes. Anderson’s career has spanned the Southeast as a player and coach over the past 20 years. Her on the court success was mirrored by her off the court pursuit of her degree as she earned her associates degree, Bachelor's degree in business at Claflin University and Master's degree in Educational Leadership.
A member of the 1986 state champion Lady Foxes, Anderson saw her career take flight as she went on to become a All-Conference player at Anderson Junior College. Immediately following her playing career, she moved into the coaching ranks where she found the opportunity to give back to both her collegiate team Claflin and her former high school team, Hartsville Senior high School. Both opportunities afforded Anderson valuable experience that has shaped her career forward. In 2009, Kim was tasked with leading the Concordia Lady Hornets program where she captured her first National title as head coach. From 2009 – 2012, the Lady Hornets were one of the most successful programs in their conference.
Coach Anderson is currently in her seventh season as the Lady Dragons' head coach. In the 2018-19 season, Anderson took the Lady Dragons to their first-ever NCAA D-II Postseason Tournament thanks to them winning their first-ever SIAC Postseason Championship Tournament. Anderson strives to elevate the platform of women’s basketball at Lane College by focusing on her lifelong passion of assisting young women to become successful on and off the court, and being able to contribute to their community in a positive way.
In the Fall of 2020, Anderson was assigned the role of Assistant Senior Woman's Administrator.
