Hunter Hammer is making history, one throw at a time.
The Coupeville High School grad, and one true Page Hit King, is competing for the inaugural track team at Trinity Lutheran College in Everett.
And now, two meets into the season, he’s already qualified for the National Christian College Athletic Association national track and field championships.
Hammer notched personal records in the shot put (47 feet, one inch) and hammer throw (148-4) at the HUB City Open in Centralia Mar. 15.
He placed second in both the hammer and discus, while claiming third in the shot put, and is qualified for the NCCAA’s in all three events.
He is currently ranked #1 in the NCCAA in the shot put.
Trinity Lutheran was founded in 1944, but is fielding a track team for the first time this season. Hammer joined throws coach Mary Parker in making the jump from Everett Community College.
