Dan Maton Competes in Track and Cross Country, But His Eyes Are Set on the Mile

Dan Maton hails from a long line of runners; his father, Jim Maton, won an NCAA Indoor 800 meters Championship. Nowadays, Dan competes both on track and cross country while setting his sights on becoming an elite mile runner in time for next year.

Maton will serve as designated hitter while Jonathan Schoop takes the field at third base and bats sixth for Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Early Life and Education

Daniel Maton of Camas High School comes from an illustrious running family in Oregon; with both of his parents winning NCAA distance titles in indoor 800 meters while Michelle ran as an All-American barefoot at Indiana University; siblings Ashley and Matthew also achieved high school state champion status before Daniel made an attempt at running sub-4 minute miles as high schoolers. Now in his junior year at Camas, Daniel hopes to join their ranks by running sub-4 minute miles himself!

Professional Career

Every time Camas High School senior Daniel Maton steps onto an oval, high expectations await him – such is life when you come from a family of runners such as his. His father Jim won NCAA distance titles; Michelle won two Oregon high school state titles while Ashley and Matthew each competed at university levels.

Maton was sent down after making a costly error during Sunday’s 6-3 loss against the Twins. With Zack Short, Andy Ibanez and Jonathan Schoop all competing for spots in Detroit’s infield, 26-year-old may need to wait before getting another opportunity with them; for now he’ll act as designated hitter while hitting eighth.

Maton’s goal for this track season is a sub-4 minute mile.
