(This story was updated to add new information: Athlete of the Week winner.)

After a week of voting, the Daily Advertiser Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 23-29 is Brooke Gill of Ascension Episcopal swimming. In an online poll that closed on Friday, Gill received more than 70% of votes cast for a total of 4,851 votes.

The senior swimmer earned this recognition after she played a huge role in helping the Blue Gators snag bronze overall at the 2024 High School Meet Five on Sept. 24. Gill took home gold in the 100-yard freestyle finishing with a time of 55.93 seconds. She followed that up with another first place finish in the 200-yard freestyle beating out all other swimmers by about five seconds.

Gill swam the 200-yard freestyle in two minutes and 4.95 seconds. She didn't stop there, swimming in Ascension Episcopal 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays which finished in third place. Gill's stellar swimming for the Blue Gators, and in club swim, has her ranked No. 5 in the Class of 2025 recruits.

She is the highest ranked Lafayette-area female swimmer in this class with a power index of 25.65. Gill will look to continue to shine in her last season if high school swim before she finds her home at a four-year university.
