This is the article that is in todays paper plus he is featured on the UVU Sports homepage with an old picture of him jumping at BYU.

• UVU track: At Ogden, Utah Valley won three events at the Wildcat Indoor Open. Senior Jessica Wortley won the women's 400-meter dash while Jake Brydson and senior Jami Daniels took titles in the men and women's triple jumps.

Wortley won the 400m in 1:00.90. Daniels won the triple jump in 34-01.35, just ahead of teammate Makira Kuan, who was second in 33-6.75. Daniels was fourth in the long jump (16-4.5) and Kuan was second in the high jump (5-3.75).

Utah Valley will compete at the GWC Indoor Championshipson Feb. 26-27 at the DakotaDome in Vermillion, S.D.

Logan played in his last basketball game for the Westlake Thunder as a 7th grade AAU player.

It was a disappointed season. It started with such hope and promise but these boys try as hard as they could, they could not get a win. I blame it on many things but mostly on the fact that they did not practice enough, there were too many players to get a flow going with the constant substitutions and then at the end they just felt like they could not do it. I like other moms sitting around me is just glad the season is over and we are proud that we supported our boys game after game.

Logan went on his first snow camp out. I am thankful to the men who went who knew what they were doing and have done this before. They took good care of the boys who went. It was a little scary as a mother looking out at night knowing how cold it was out there in the Provo Canyon. Logan said the snow was up to his knees, he helped both pitch the tent and get the fire going to cook their tin foil dinners and he said Badge ate more of my donuts than I did. That's about it. He is not a complainer and said he had fun playing in the snow and was never not that cold.
