Connor Birdsong



Bio:

Connor Birdsong started logrolling with the LaCrosse area logrolling program. He quickly became one of the best amateur competitors during the 2011-2016 era, rarely placing outside of the top 3, and continued this success even after turning professional. Birdsong's first professional victory happened to be his first professional tournament, the 2017 U.S. Logrolling Open, held in Chicago, Illinois, where he defeated his brother, Garrick Birdsong. Connor Birdsong would follow this early success with wins at the 2018 Midwest Championships, the 2018 LaCrosse Open, and the 2018 Three River's Roleo, which would lead him to finishing in second place at the 2018 World Championships. Five years later, Birdsong appeared to be making a comeback, winning the first three tournaments of 2023, but would fade off after a semifinal defeat at the U.S. Open.
