With the performance Martin has shown, he seems as if he has played all of his life, although he didn't begin playing until high school. "I pl.iyed one year of little league when I was eight, then my parents wouldn't let me play anymore, I was a running back," Martin said. "In junior high, they only had flag teams, so I didn't play until I reached high school." Martin, 21, from Arroyo Crande, Calif, played for Arroyo Grande High School under the direction of Coach John Huss. Martin's talent kicked in early when he started his Sophomore year, and went on to lead his team to their first CIF Championship. Martin received League, County, Area and CIF Most Valuable Player.

"Basically, Weber State is the only school that ended up offering me a scholarship," said Martin. "I was recruited by many of the PAC-10 schools, but found myself number two or three on their lists." Martin arrived at Weber State in the fall of 1989, and began his first year under redshirt status. The following year he put himself in the record books by throwing six interceptions in one game. This past season, Martin entered the same books by throwing for almost 4,000 yards and finding himself on the top of the Division 1-AA in total offense leaders. Aside all the success Martin has had, he seems to have maintained the same unassuming attitude throughout his career at WSU. "Jamie is well respected by his team mates because of the way he handles all the success that he has gotten," said WSU Head Football Coach Dave Arslanian. "I think he's top notch, not just as a quarter- door season. Coach Jim Blaisdell, women's track coach for Weber, said that he recruited Kealamakia after seeing her and her times from Malad High School and he knew that she would be a good addition to WSU's track team. "Elizabeth is a fiesty competitor, she is very competitive and versatile," said Coach Blaisdell. "She is very strong in all of her events that runs and participates in."

"He is an extremely talented event," said Blaisdell. Blaisdell feels that Kealamekia is a big key to Weber's track team. She has become a leader and her competitive spirit has rubbed off on her other teammates. Kealamakia was married last summer, after meeting her husband, Terry, on the track team here at Weber. Terry runs the hurdles on the men's track team and will be graduating next spring with plans to go on to law school. 'Terry didn't pay any attention to me at first.
