In there banging with the big boys.
Following in the footsteps of fellow former Wolf Hunter Hammer, Coupeville High School grad Dalton Martin made a strong debut as a college thrower.
Martin, the only athlete in the 117-year history of CHS to win three throwing medals at the same state meet, is a freshman at Everett Community College.
Competing in the Pacific Lutheran Open Saturday, he finished fifth in a field of 18 throwers, launching the discus 137 feet.
During his days as a Wolf, Martin played football, basketball, tennis and track.
He finished 5th at state in the discus as a junior, then claimed 2nd as a senior.
Martin also notched 8th place state finishes in the shot put and javelin during his final campaign.
The last feat was a true dazzler, as he threw the javelin for the first time in competition just six weeks prior to state, and increased his PR 20 feet in just 44 days.
