The Butler High boys tennis team won a state championship, the boys lacrosse team captured a WPIAL crown and the baseball team returned to the playoffs.

All told, it was a pretty good spring sports season for the Golden Tornado.

But not completely.

There's one glaring omission — a very sad, unjust omission.

Logan Renwick.

This was supposed to be the crowning season of a track and field career that included individual WPIAL titles and PIAA medals during his years as an underclassman.

But it wasn't to be.

A pulled right hamstring during the first week of practice put Renwick behind schedule right away.

But he worked his way back into shape and excelled during the WPIAL team semifinals, winning the 300-meter hurdles and the long jump, placing second in the high and triple jumps to lead his team to the finals.

That peak performance shouldn't have surprised anyone. Logan Renwick is all about work ethic and intensity.

That's why basketball coach Matt Clement, who knows something about hard work and intensity himself, named Renwick one of his team's captains last winter.

Renwick was ready to make his mark on this track and field postseason when he pulled his left hamstring on his third long jump attempt during the WPIAL qualifying meet.

The long jump was his first event of the day, but the injury ended his day — and any hope of playing out his prep career the way it should have played out.

Renwick had to sit out the state meet, just like he had to sit out this year's Butler Invitational, despite being a two-time defending Field MVP.

Don't feel too bad for him, though.

Logan Renwick's got game in life, not just in track and basketball.

He graduated from Butler as an honor student with distinction Friday night. He was a member of student council and National Honor Society, along with the Stand Tall drug awareness program.

He's picked up a few academic scholarships and was a WPIAL Scholar Athlete.

He's headed to Notre Dame, where he'll compete in track and major in mechanical engineering — one guess as to which will be more important to him.

When Renwick was a freshman on the track team in 2007, he placed second in the high jump — the final event of the night — to clinch Butler's 77-73 win over Baldwin and the WPIAL team championship.

He also won the 110-meter hurdles in that meet.

When asked about his heroics, Renwick said, "I didn't win this meet. Our whole team won this meet."

That's Logan Renwick.

Don't worry about him. People with the traits he has become successful, with or without sports.

He was disappointed in how his track season ended.

Renwick wanted that crowning moment. He certainly didn't need it.

Time is going to prove that.
