The Deer Whisperer has returned.

Dalton Martin earned plenty of kudos during his athletic career at Coupeville High School, which is understandable when he’s the only Wolf in 116 years to win three throwing medals at the same state track and field championships.

But now, as he prepares to take his discus and head off to Everett Community College to pursue his college dreams, he’s making his biggest impact with a series of short, highly-enjoyable videos.

Got 17 seconds?

You can see both of his low-key encounters with very-trusting Whidbey wildlife, while getting 17 seconds away from the barrage of politically-related screaming and treason that’s sweeping the nation.

Being a local track and field fan is about to get so much easier.

With Coupeville High School ripping up its outdated oval and laying down a fresh new eight-lane marvel this summer, the Wolves will once again host home meets for the first time in forever.

But, with no home meets, and only one appearance in a meet even on Whidbey this past season, that meant fans had to hit the open road, a lot, once again.

If you didn’t make it to every meet (I went to one, in Bremerton), you can catch up, thanks to Dawnelle Conlisk and the video below.

The mom of freshman phenom Danny, who went to state in two events as a whiz kid, she put together an eight-minute tribute to the Wolves and their season, using action and behind the scenes photos from a wide variety of folks.

Plus a little Journey.

So hit the road, while never leaving your couch, and experience Wolf track ’16.
