The 6-foot, 142-pound senior raced to the Division II individual state championship this past season, clocking the fastest all-divisions time of 15:39.4 this past season. Unbeaten against in-state competition this fall, Martz also took second at the Desert Twilight XC Festival in a personal-best 15:10.10. He opened his 2022 campaign by crossing state lines to win the Division 1 individual championship at the venerable Mt. Carmel Invitational meet in California.
Martz has maintained a weighted 4.22 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to run on scholarship at Rice University this fall.
Martz has volunteered locally as a dietary aide at a nursing facility and as a lab researcher at the University of Arizona. Despite being diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma, he has prospered in the sport and elsewhere.
