Calgary, Alberta. (October 7, 2002) - 1995 graduate, Kelvin "Earthquake" Anderson went over 1000 yards rushing for the seventh-straight season last Friday as he rushed for 101 yards on 19 carries against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The mark sets a new record in the Canadian Football League, the previous record being held by George Reed of Saskatchewan who accomplished the feat from 1964-1969.

Anderson, who plays for the Calgary Stampders, also recorded his 23rd 100-yard rushing game, moving him to third all-time in Stampeder history, behind Earl Lunsford and Lovell Coleman.

Anderson, a big, bruising runner, is built in the same mold as the previous record holder. He was very modest, but proud to have his name in the record books.

"To have your name mentioned beside his is definitely flattering," Anderson said. "I'm happy, especially for my offensive linemen. I don't keep up with records, I just come to play."

Anderson also caught three passes for 70 yards and head coach Wally Buono keeps getting more impressed each time he sees Anderson play.

"Kelvin's been a great player ever since he got here," Buono said. "When he can do that for seven straight-years, he deserves a lot of credit. Hes not spectacular, but when you look at him, he's just productive.

Anderson was an All-American at Southeast and was the CFL's Most Valuable Player last season as he led the Stampeders to the CFL Grey Cup Game. He also played in the XFL in its only season and was on the champion San Francisco Demons.
