Eugene Bound
Cassidy Allen, who graduated last week from Southwestern Central School, leaves the building to applause Monday afternoon during a special send-off in recognition of her trip to Eugene, Oregon, the site of the National Scholastic Foundation’s Outdoor Nationals, presented by Nike, at Hayward Field. Allen, who holds the New York State Division 2 pole vault record of 13 feet, 7 inches, will compete on Thursday, capping quite a season for the University of Akron-bound athlete. Last week at the Section VI Championships, Allen, who left for the Pacific Northwest early this morning, won three individual events — the pole vault, the triple jump and the 200 meters.
