(This story was updated to add new information.)

The St. Thomas More High School community came together this week to vote for swimmer Brooks Resweber as the Daily Advertiser Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 8-14. In an online poll that closed on Friday, Resweber received a little more than 67% of votes cast for a total of 11,201 votes.

The freshman swimmer earned this recognition after swimming for gold in the Cougars' first meet of the season at the Earl J. Chris pool at the Robicheaux Center. Resweber swam in multiple events for his team helping the boys' squad come out on top finishing in first place overall.

He competed in the boys' 200-yard individual medley, 100-yard backstroke, and 400-yard freestyle relay as the first leg and came away with gold in each event. He swam the 200-yard individual medley in two minutes and 13.64 seconds beating out all other swimmers with over a second difference. In the 100-yard backstroke, Resweber finished with a time of one minute and 0.19 seconds for the gold. In the relay, he helped the boys' team finish in three minutes and 40.29 seconds.

The freshman will look to continue to play a big role in St. Thomas More's swim program for the rest of the season.

Original story: The polls are back open for The Daily Advertiser Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 8-14 and it is time to vote once again.

With Hurricane Francine touching down in Louisiana, some games and practices were canceled but that didn’t stop athletes from the 337. They continued to do it all for their teams shining in non-district play and bringing home dubs in their respective sports. From the gridiron to the pool, these athletes have earned their spot on this week’s poll.

The poll includes athletes from the following fall sports: football, swimming, cross country, and girls' volleyball. The poll can be found at the bottom of the story and closes on Friday.

Here are the candidates for Athlete of the Week for Sept. 8-14 (athletes listed in alphabetical order):

Bella Biggerstaff, cross country, Ascension Episcopal: At the 46th Annual Episcopal/Varsity Sports Round Table Run on Sept. 14, Biggerstaff shinned. The junior distance runner placed in the top 15 of the girls' varsity three-mile race running a time of 20 minutes and 36.29 seconds.

Jonah Gauthier, football, Acadiana: The bruiser running back played a key role in the ground game for the Wreckin’ Rams Sept. 14 game against Zachary. He rushed for around 256 yards and two touchdowns to help Acadiana beat the Broncos 42-28.

Tylus Metrejean, football, Port Barre: Port Barre won their first game of the season on Sept. 14 and Metrejean led them to the victory. He scored touchdowns in more than one way for the Red Devils throwing, catching, and rushing for one to help them shutout Beau Chene 34-0.
