FIRE AND WATER
LOGAN FREDERICK ’$%, Ph.D. Candidate, University of Utah, Department of Geology and Geophysics
Logan Frederick Loves a chaLLenge—the tougher, the better. it’s true on the
basketball court, in her volunteer work as a firefighter/eMT, as an ra in the dorms and
president of the catholic-based newman club, and in the geosciences classroom and lab.
remembered by her skidmore hoops coach for her “defensive leadership and gritty atti-
tude on the boards,” Frederick says her “biggest accomplishment” in college was playing
in every single game during her four-year career. This despite a battle with Lyme disease
that made her muscles spasm without warning.
says Frederick, “i’m not the best shooter or dribbler. i’m not the best at a lot of things, but
that’s fine. if i can get down the floor faster than anyone else on transition or be first to a
loose ball, that’s good. i can’t win the game by myself, only the team can win or lose.”
Frederick is currently at the University of Utah pursuing a Ph.d. in hydrology, with a focus
on western lands damaged by wildfires.
