BUTLER TWP — For years, Logan Renwick was an outstanding athlete.

Now he’s preparing to help restore athletes.

The Butler High School graduate and multiple sport participant for the Golden Tornado graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from Notre Dame in May. He begins employment with Stryker as an engineer in its Knee Preservation Division July 28.

Renwick will be working in Denver, Colo.

“Stryker is a medical device company and I’ll be helping to develop equipment surgeons use to repair ACL tears, shoulder labrums, Tommy John surgeries, things like that,” Renwick said.

“Sports are something I’ve always been passionate about, they’ve played a big role in my life. In a way, I feel like I’m giving something back.”

Renwick interned with Stryker last year, working out of its orthopedic headquarters in New Jersey. He received an interview for the job in Denver and was offered the position last August.

“That made my senior year a lot more relaxing,” Renwick said.

Not that he took it easy.

Recently named to the Capital One Academic All-America Division I Cross Country/Track & Field first team, Renwick compiled a 3.89 grade point average.

A second team selection last year, he became the seventh Notre Dame athlete to receive Academic All-America honors in this academic year.

“This latest award is the one I’m most proud of because it reflects the challenges I took on as a student-athlete at Notre Dame,” Renwick said. “I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished there.

“Given the high academic standards at that university, it was difficult to excel on the track and in the classroom. And engineering isn’t the easiest course of study.”

On the track, Renwick finished fourth in the long jump and triple jump at the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Outdoor Championships this spring. Notre Dame’s men finished third in the meet.

Renwick placed third in the long jump at the 2013 Big East Outdoor Championship and won the Big East triple jump title as a sophomore. He won numerous meets during his collegiate career.

“I had an incredible support system in college,” he said. “They give you so many resources to help you excel.

“I was taught to put in hard work and 100 percent effort in everything since I was born. I’ve never lost that attitude.”

Renwick credits his years at Butler High School, where he competed in track and basketball, as laying the groundwork for his eventual collegiate success.

“No doubt, it prepared me,” he said. “Being a multiple sport athlete is what instilled my competitive drive.”

Renwick’s high school career included seven varsity letters, captaincy in basketball and track, and school records of 48 feet, 6 inches in the triple jump, 38.9 seconds in the 300-meter hurdles and 14.6 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles.

“I’ll still try to stay in shape, of course, but my track career is over,” Renwick said. “I’d love to get into volunteer coaching for some high school, help other kids realize their dreams.

“Sports have done so much for me over the years. I’d love to be able to give something back in that sense.”

Stryker will make a nice start in that regard.

“I can’t wait to get going and help other people,” Renwick said.
