Logan Martin traveled across the USA, then threw the hammer almost all the way back.
The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, earned 2nd place (out of 38 competitors) Friday at the Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos.
Operating at the Texas State Track and Field Complex, Martin chucked his implement 177 feet, three inches.
That was a season best showing for the former Wolf and left him nearly eight feet in front of the third-best thrower.
Matt Thomas of Grand Valley State won, launching the eighth-best throw (200-01) in NCAA D-II action this spring.
During his time in Cow Town, Martin was a standout soccer, tennis, and basketball player, who earned three 2nd place medals at state championship events during his senior season of track and field.
Central Washington returns to action April 5 at the John Knight Twilight meet in Monmouth, Oregon.
