Logan Tom is a fantastic all-around volleyball player. She can do it all... great at hitting, blocking, defense, passing, and serving!

"Highland High volleyball coach, Kim Norman, remembers the day Logan's volleyball dream began. She came into our gym at 13, having never played volleyball in her life. She was wearing baseball cleats and had played on the boys' baseball team. She jumped up and took a big walloping sweep. The coach blinked — and saw a star." (Deseret News)

Highly recruited by numerous colleges and the US national team, Logan chose Stanford University. Later at only 19, Logan made the Olympic team (she was the youngest on the roster by two years) and helped the U.S. finish fourth in Sydney with 96 kills, 64 digs, 17 blocks and 8 aces. Her U.S. teammates call her "Doogie", after TV's Doogie Howser, the teenaged doctor. "I'll be 40 and they'll still be calling me Doogie," she says. (NBC)
