Logan Martin, living up to the hype.
Logan Martin didn’t have much down time Friday.
The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, threw in three events at the John Knight Twilight meet in Monmouth, Oregon.
Martin’s best showing came in his premier event, the hammer throw, where he placed second out of 16 competitors, launching the implement 173 feet, one inch.
He was nearly two feet ahead of the third-place chucker, and hot on the heels of eventual winner Donaven Humphries of Clackamas College.
While the hammer is where Martin wows the audience, he also competes in the shot put and discus, and placed in the top half of the field in both events in Oregon.
The former Wolf finished 11th (out of 23 throwers) in the shot put with a heave of 40-07.75 and 12th in the discus (out of 24 hurlers), with his throw plummeting back to Earth at the 120-09 mark.
His performance Friday continues a life-long odyssey of being really, really good at athletic pursuits, as Martin played soccer, tennis, and basketball in addition to track and field during his CHS days.
Central Washington is next scheduled to compete April 11 at the Whitworth Twilight meet in Spokane.
