Allan Martin

                ( 1921 -  2014 )     )

 

 

Class of 2003
Contributor to the Sport

 

     Allan Martin became interested in the sport of archery in the late 1950's after successfully participating in and judging organized weightlifting and body building events. His initial involvement in archery was recreational, but within a year he found himself competing. However, it was not as a competitor that he made his greatest contributions to the sport. Over the years, Allan's organizational skills, his sense of order and his objectivity lead him into administrative positions that by the 1980's included Delegate, Pan Am Committee, F.I.T.A. Congress, U.S. Olympic Committee and President and Board Member of the National Archery Association.

 

     Allen is truly one of the renaissance men of this sport. through his years of service, his uncompromising honesty, his diplomacy, his sense of history he has enriched archery and the lives of those who know him and share his love of the sport.
