The face behind the mascot: Logan Gillmore’s enthusiasm is no act

We all know Logan Gillmore. As an important part of everyone’s school spirit, Logan adds life and enthusiasm to the heart of our community. If you’ve been to a sporting event, however, you might know him better as “Pedro,” the Panther mascot with Micheal Jackson-esque moves. Logan connects with the audience through killer dance moves and a kind of energy that reaches fans in even the farthest of corners. With a bright past and a promising future, Logan seems to have it all going for him—and a roundabout, sometimes lonely, journey to Boulder laid the groundwork for that future.

Logan grew up in suburban Wisconsin and moved around a lot. Living in Wisconsin until he was 8 years old, and not moving to Clancy until he was in eighth grade, Logan had a hard time making long-term connections. 

“I never really had a chance to make super close friends,” Gillmore stated, “because I would never spend more than four or five years at a school and I didn’t really have a best friend.”
