STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford alum and four-time Olympian Logan Tom will be recognized at Wednesday's women's volleyball match, the Pac-12 opener for sixth-ranked Stanford against California, at Maples Pavilion.
Tom and the U.S. Olympic indoor team captured the silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The U.S. fell in the gold-medal match to Brazil in four sets. Tom registered 11 kills and three blocks for 14 points against Brazil. It marked the second-consecutive silver medal for the U.S., which also fell to Brazil in the gold-medal match in 2008 in Beijing.
Tom was a four-time AVCA All-American at Stanford from 1999-2002. She led the Cardinal to two Pac-10 titles and the 2001 NCAA Championship. She was the 2001 and 2002 AVCA National Player of the Year and a two-time Honda Award winner for volleyball. A four-time All-Pac-10 selection, she was the MVP of the 2001 Final Four and a two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year (2001 & 2002).
Tom still ranks highly in the Cardinal record book, averaging the most kills per set (5.02) in school history and securing third place in career kills (1,939). She also holds the school record for aces per set (0.44) and is fourth all-time with 3.19 digs per set.
