While at WSU, Sandison held the second fastest 880 meter time in American track history and was the holder of numerous meet records. As a junior, he finished second in the 880 meter run at the NCAA Championships, setting a school record time of 1:46.1 and eclipsing the American record time in the process. He competed for the 1969 cross country team that finished unbeaten and was captain of the 1970 track team. That season, Sandison was the Pac-8 champion in the 880 meters and finished third in the event at the NCAA Championships. Sandison made the Olympic Trial final in 1972 and also participated in the 1976 trials.
