Judson ("Jud") Campbell Logan (born July 19, 1959 in Canton, Ohio) is a former American athlete who won a gold medal in the hammer throw at the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. He competed in four Summer Olympics, starting in 1984. His best finish was 13th in the qualifying round in 1984.[1] He tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol at the 1992 Olympics.[2]
Logan had bests of 49-11 (SP) and 171-11 (DT) in high school, and did not even qualify for the state meet.
- "And I made it to three Olympics. That's what I tell kids now: never give up on your dreams."
He played Tight End in high school football. He attended Kent State University playing football for two and a half seasons. He was but a walk-on to the track team.
He has been known to give his medals away to children who watch the competition:
- "I'm not into collecting or saving medals. Maybe it will mean more to them than it will to me. But it makes me feel good."
He was for a time, the oldest top-level U.S. track star, he turned 40 in 1999. He was still determined to continue throwing.
- "I'm going to keep throwing until there are three guys who can keep me off the Olympic team. As long as I can make the A standards for the Worlds and Olympics, and keep making teams, I'm going to keep doing it."
Following that statement he made his fourth Olympic team and threw in the 2000 Summer Olympics.
He has continued throwing into the Masters division, setting the world M50 record in 2009.[3]
He currently resides in Ashland, Ohio,[4] where he has coached the Ashland University track team since 1994. He became head coach in 2004 and was named Indoor Men's Coach of the Year in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 2008-2009.[5]
