Runner of the Week
Clarisse Hayden / JR / Cairn University / Bangkok, Thailand / International Community School
Last year's Runner of the Year is keeping pace in 2025 as she topped the field at the United East Championship Preview hosted by Penn State Brandywine on Friday. The junior crossed the finishline at 24:47.72, which was roughly 15 seconds faster than the next runner. Her time was the best among the 75 runners competing and helped the Highlanders to a third place team finish.
This is the first Runner of the Week award of the season for Hayden and her sixth accolade of her career (9/3/24, 9/10/24, 9/17/24, 9/24/24, 10/1/24)
