For as much as they’ve been paired together their whole lives, there’s a disheartening contrast when it comes to Colin and Ethan Martin.
Throughout their respective running careers at Fox Chapel, the twins have trained together, raced together and experienced their biggest career accomplishments together. By the time they took the medal stand, they would be on different levels, but they were still side by side, bonded by a shared sense of excellence.
Heading into the final months of their senior season, though, there is a sort of disconnect.
While Colin is still running and succeeding — as evidenced by some of his recent performances — Ethan has been forced to watch, stung by an injury that has plagued him since September.
