Four former Mary Baldwin standout student-athletes comprised the sixth class for induction into the Hall of Fame will be held Sunday (10/19) at the Hotel 24 South in Staunton during the University's Mary Baldwin's annual Alumni Weekend.

The ceremony, honoring the collegiate careers of Lauren Logan '96, Kelly Thorkilson '00, Katrina Scruggs '06 and Colena Lord '09, also recognized the reunion years of a pair of Atlantic Women's Collegiate Conference (AWCC) championship teams – the 1995 Volleyball and 2000 Field Hockey squads. 
The Mary Baldwin event began with former Fighting Squirrels coaches Sharon Spalding (volleyball) and Lou Moore (field hockey) speaking about their experiences with those championship teams.  Following those memories were the inductions that expanded the Athletics Hall of Fame expanded to 23 members.

Lauren Logan '96, a Business Administration major from Virginia Beach, Va., was a three-sport athlete for Mary Baldwin and was named the College's Athlete of the Year in 1996.  For the Fighting Squirrels, Logan swam for four years, played defense for the lacrosse team for three years and one season for the softball team.

Other awards Logan earned during her collegiate career included the MBC Scholar-Athlete Award (1996), Most Valuable Swimmer, Most Improved Lacrosse Player and was an all-conference selection on the lacrosse team.  She was also a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, Omicron Delta Kappa and Who's Who among Students in American Universities and Colleges (1996).
She began her post-MBU career as an IT consultant at two corporations, including IBM, and continued to work in the technical industry while earning her master's degree in Sports Management. 

Currently, Logan is the Assistant Student Activities Coordinator and head coach for three sports (field hockey, swimming and lacrosse) at Ocean Lake High School, where she earned Lacrosse Coach of the Year awards in 2023 and 2024.  She also runs a non-profit lacrosse league in Hampton Roads.

The Fighting Squirrels reached double digits in victories each year she played, including 19 wins in 2004, a record that still stands for most wins in a season.  The 2004 team won the Atlantic Women's Collegiate Conference title, only the second in Mary Baldwin women's basketball history, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the only time in team history.
She was the team's Offensive Player of the Year in 2003 and a three-time all-star in the AWCC, including first team in 2005.  She was also an Honorable Mention selection for the Va. Sports Information Director's All-State team.
