Allen Jones, (M70-74) easily eclipsed the All American standard in the 8om Hurdles in his first hurdle race ever---yes, never attempted to hurdle until training with, and coaching from, the Cascade Masters group the past few months.  His 16.72 time fell easily below the 18.00 AA standard. Congratulations, Allen! One last All-Comers meet at Tumwater HS on Thursday, June 28,  6:00 start…
