Helena native Logan Todorovich wins heptathlon, sets Baylor record

Helena native Logan Todorovich turned a weekend meet in Louisville into a Baylor record, winning the heptathlon at the Jim Freeman/Clark Wood Invitational with 5,666 points. The performance gave Lewis and Clark County readers a familiar name on a bigger stage and pushed Todorovich past a mark that had stood for almost 10 years.

Todorovich broke Jenna Pfeiffer’s school record of 5,584 points, set at the 2017 Big 12 Outdoor Championships, by more than 80 points. In a seven-event competition where consistency matters as much as one breakout result, Todorovich delivered personal bests in four events: the 100-meter hurdles in 14.05 seconds, the 800 meters in 2:23.14, the long jump at 19 feet, 9 inches, and the shot put at 36 feet, 5 3/4 inches.

Baylor coach Michael Ford said Todorovich’s score “sits No. 4 in the Big 12 right now” and said the staff was already looking toward the Big 12 Championship in about two weeks. That puts the Helena High School graduate in position to keep moving up as the season tightens and the conference meet approaches.

The Louisville result was not Todorovich’s first sign of progress this month. At the Texas Relays in Austin, she scored 5,487 points in the heptathlon, then the third-highest mark in Baylor program history at the time. She improved on that total in Louisville while adding another layer to a season that has already made her one of Baylor’s most reliable multi-event performers.

Baylor’s roster lists Todorovich as a sophomore, and her high school record explains why she arrived in Waco with so much promise. Competing for Helena High, she won nine individual Montana Class AA state championships, including the 100-meter hurdles and long jump in each of her final three seasons. That kind of breadth translates directly to the heptathlon, where one weak event can undo a strong day.

The result also came during a productive stretch for Baylor’s women, who were described as the 23rd-ranked team nationally during the Michael Johnson Invitational weekend in Waco and posted four event wins on opening day. For Helena, Todorovich’s record is a reminder that local track and field talent can move from schoolyards and state meets to the conference level and beyond.
