He’s busting out.
Coupeville grad Logan Martin closed his first collegiate indoor track and field season Tuesday with a strong showing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships in Spokane.
Now, after a short break, the Central Washington University sophomore returns to his natural habitat, competing in the outdoor version of his sport.
Before going outside, where he’s a hammer-flinging heavyweight, Martin competed in the weight throw and shot put at the indoor championships.
The former Wolf ace set a PR in the first of those events Monday, tossing the implement 50 feet, 5.50 inches to claim ninth place out of 14 competitors.
Martin then came back around Tuesday to earn seventh (out of 15 throwers) in the shot put, flinging the ball 44-10.25 for another PR.
Now, he’ll have a little bit of time off — from competition at least, not practice — before beginning the outdoor season Mar. 15-16 at the PLU Open in Tacoma.
His collegiate exploits continue a torrid run for Martin, who capped his high school track career by claiming 2nd place in the state championships in shot put, discus, and hammer.
Oh, and Dalton’s younger brother also played tennis, soccer, and basketball for the Wolves, helping the Coupeville boys’ basketball team to its first league title in 20+ years, and first trip to the state tourney in 34.
