When one thinks of logrollers, you might imagine them to be wearing flannel shirts on a lake up north. However, if you walk by the Rec Plex pool in Straz Tower you will see Marquette students practicing their logrolling skills.
Logrolling is one of the newest club sports on campus and given Marquette’s location in downtown Milwaukee, the most surprising offering.
Club president Tess Stumvoll, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she has been an active competitor in logrolling for the last 10 years.
Stumvoll, who competed in the 2019 and 2021 Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, Wisconsin, said bringing the sport to Marquette was as natural to her as climbing up on a log.
