DENVER, Colo. — Few competitors balanced the academic and athletic world as well as Logan Renwick.

The 2010 Butler graduate will be inducted into the Butler Area School District Athletic Hall of Fame as a result.

A stellar basketball player and track and field athlete at Butler, Renwick still holds school records in the 110-meter hurdles (14.50 seconds in 2008) and triple jump (48 feet, 1 inch in 2009). He is entrenched among Butler County's all-time top five in the 110 hurdles, 300-meter hurdles, long jump and triple jump.

His 300 hurdle record time of 38.88 seconds (2009) at Butler was broken in 2018 by Jake Wolfrum. And Renwick's long jump of 22 feet, 7.5 inches is second in Butler history to Calvin Littlejohn.

Also an honor student in high school, Renwick went on to graduate with a 3.89 grade point average as an engineering major at Notre Dame.

“He graduated with one of the top grade point averages of any athlete at Notre Dame,” his father and high school hurdles coach, Jeff Renwick, said. “Logan is pretty proud of that.”

“There are no 'B's' in that family,” Butler track coach Mike Seybert said. “Those Renwick kids got nothing but A's.”

Renwick is well on his way to a stellar career as an engineer as well. He is employed by Stryker in Denver, Colo. where he works on designing surgical products for sports-related injuries.

“We've developed products to assist with ACL, rotator cuff, surgeries like that,” Logan Renwick said. “It's very motivating, rewarding work.”

Renwick and the rest of the 2020-21 Butler HOF class will be inducted during the 2021-22 school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Renwick is more than willing to wait.

“It's a huge honor and it means a lot to me since sports were such a big part of my life growing up,” Renwick said. “It's nice to be recognized for all of those years.

“My dad was instrumental in my athletic success. This should mean a lot to him, too.”

Jeff Renwick coached his son in the Butler Stealth Track youth program and in the hurdles in high school.

“Logan got started in second grade,” his father said of track and field. “He followed his older siblings into the program.

“Everyone called him a track rat because he tried so many different events. That's how he became so diverse in the sport.”

Renwick won numerous meets during his collegiate career. He won the Big East triple jump title as a sophomore. He placed third in the long jump at the 2013 Big East Outdoor Championship and placed fourth in the long jump and triple jump at the Atlantic Coast Conference's Outdoor Championships his senior year at Notre Dame.

His proudest achievement? That dates back to his freshman year in high school.

“We're competing at the WPIAL Team Championships and the meet came down to the final event — the high jump,” Renwick recalled. “Everyone was crowded around the pit watching.

“I took second place and we won the team title (77-73 over Baldwin). That was so exciting. I will never forget that.”

Renwick was also a senior at Butler during Matt Clement's first season as the Golden Tornado basketball coach.

“Logan was one of those players whose contributions went way beyond the stat sheet,” Clement said. “He was a lock-down defender who would face-guard the opposing team's best player consistently.

“His explosiveness showed on the court. He played with a lot of grit. He didn't care if he scored zero points, 10, whatever ... all Logan wanted to do was win games.

“He was one of those guys who laid the foundation for the success this basketball program has enjoyed over the past few years,” Clement added.

He was one in a long line of successful Tornado track athletes as well.

“I still follow both programs,” Renwick said.”I'm proud to be a multiple sport athlete from Butler. I'm excited about the way the basketball and track programs continue to be successful.

“The multi-sport athlete seems to be fading from high school and it's a shame. Most athletes who go on to future success in a sport played more than one sport in high school.”

Clement said Renwick could have succeeded in any sport.

“Football, soccer, it didn't matter,” he said. “Logan had the skill set and work ethic, he would have made it happen no matter what sport he chose to play.”

Seybert agreed.

“Strength, speed, physical ability ... Logan has to be one of the top five athletes all-time to come out of this school,” Seybert said. “On top of all that, he struck that balance with academics. That's what's so impressive.”
