Montesano junior Cassadie Golding was named as the Week 2 CenturyLink High School Athlete of the Week by the Seattle Seahawks, CenturyLink and KIRO Radio. Golding will be on the field at CenturyLink Field during the Seahawks vs. Rams game Oct. 3.

Golding was picked because of “her dedication to academics, community involvement, leadership, and athletic performance. Cassadie holds a 4.0 GPA while taking honors courses and participating on the Dance/Drill, Cheerleading, Soccer, and Softball teams,” a release from the Seahawks states.

Golding also is a Buddy Coordinator for the Grays Harbor Little League Challenger Program and teaches children with disabilities to play baseball as well as teaches outdoors safety and leadership skills to young girls as a volunteer camp counselor.

For having Golding as the athlete of the week, Montesano High School will receive a $1,000 grant to the athletic department. Golding will get tickets and sideline passes to the Seahawks vs. Rams game, a customized football and a Seahawks jersey.

A total of $10,000 will be awarded to high schools over the course of the program.
