Hunter Hammer, All-American college track athlete and accomplished baby-sitter.
Hunter Hammer is a two-timer.
All-American that is. Two-time All-American.
The former Coupeville High School basketball and track legend finished third in the shot put at the National Christian College Athletic Association finals in Rome, Georgia this weekend, earning that status.
Representing Trinity Lutheran, his final throw in the shot put went 14.60 meters.
He was an All-American last year in the discus, an event he took 13th in this time around.
Hammer also placed fifth in the hammer throw (45.85 meters), and the ten points he earned accounted for more than half of his team’s 19 points.
The Trinity Lutheran men finished 15th in the team standings, with Shorter University taking home the NCCAA championship banner.
Hammer’s female teammates placed 22nd overall.
During his time as a Wolf, the six-foot-seven, wildly outgoing Hammer broke almost all of the school’s throwing records, while also being a dominant player for the boys’ basketball squad.
After graduation, he competed at Everett Community College for two seasons before joining the brand-new track program at Trinity.
