Allen making big mark at Penn State Behrend
ERIE — Competing in numerous events while setting plenty of records at Penn State Behrend, Paige Allen has maximized her collegiate track and field career.
Actually, the Butler graduate maximized her collegiate career, period.
“The best way to describe Paige is that she makes an impact in everything she does,” Lions track and field coach Greg Cooper said.
Allen owns 11 PSU Behrend indoor and outdoor track records. She was recently named winner of the Cheryl Ramsdell-Anderson Female Athlete of the Year Award at the school.
“There are 22 sports here and 11 of them are women's sports,” Allen said. “I feel very honored to receive that, especially when I think of all those other sports.”
Allen's career can best be summed up by the fact she was asked to make the closing remarks at Behrend's graduation ceremony this spring.
