Riverwood International Charter School congratulates Raider runner Anna Hayden, who has received a scholarship to run for Furman University.

Anna was recruited to run both cross-country and track.

Anna ran varsity track during all four high school years at Riverwood, and ran varsity cross-country her sophomore, junior and senior years. She has made all-state teams four times and has earned several awards and accolades during her tenure as a Raider including being named Most Valuable Runner, and being selected as Runner of the Week five times.

Anna boasts personal best times of 5:13 (1600m), 11:13 (3200m) and 18:18 (5000m). She is delighted to have been selected to Footlocker Team Georgia 2015, and to have also been named a two time region champion in the 3200m and Cross Country.

“This is such a wonderful opportunity and I’m so proud and excited for Anna,” Riverwood’s girls varsity track head coach Isaac Seals said.

Hayden is a Principal’s Honor Roll student and an International Baccalaureate Diploma candidate. For the past three years she has been a member of Riverwood’s Beta Club and the National Honor Society. Anna has an older brother, former Riverwood Raider Nicholas Hayden, who is currently a sophomore at Furman.
