The anchor is the last person on a relay race team. Because it is such a critical position, it is often filled by the team's best runner.

The term is used in a similar fashion in other team sports as well, such as league Bowling.

Typically, the anchor is the last leg of a four man relay. He is typically the fastest one. The anchor is an important member of the relay team because he must kick it and pass people at the end to secure the finish.
