Committed Partners for Youth Check Presentation
On September 13, 2013 the 2nd Annual Symmonds Straight 800M Race was held in Springfield.
This race was the world’s only sanctioned 800 meter road race and is named for 5-time 800
meter U.S. Champion, 2-time Olympian and Springfield resident Nick Symmonds. This fun and
family-friendly road race provided opportunities for walkers and runners of all ages to
participate.
Nick Symmonds has long been a supporter and participant in the Big Brothers Big Sisters
Program through Committed Partners for Youth. To honor that agency, proceeds from the race
were donated to Committed Partners for Youth. Jay Baughman, Executive Director, will be in
attendance to receive the check in the amount of $1000.
