It was a long, successful day.
Coupeville grad Logan Martin, now a freshman at Central Washington University, launched big throws in two events Saturday in Forest Grove, Oregon.
Competing in the Pacific Open, Martin finished 5th in the hammer throw — out of 30 competitors — and 7th of 28 in the discus.
The former Wolf chucked the discus 140 feet, seven inches, and lobbed the hammer 155 feet.
Both events were well spaced out, with the hammer throw starting at 9 AM, while the discus didn’t get underway until 6 PM.
For dad Bob Martin, who coached Coupeville High School’s track team in Bellingham Friday, then hightailed it to Oregon to watch his progeny in action, the epic time span made one thing clear.
Prep meets may go on for a while, but this was something completely different.
“I’ll never complain about our high school meets again,” the track guru said with a laugh.
