Highlander GMC Athletes of the Week
Posted on: January 28, 2026 2:50 pm
Congratulations to the Highlanders who were named GMC Athletes of the Week!
Katie Swafford Girls' Wrestling Sr.
She took 4th place at the Shelly Ruberg Harrison HS Invite to help lead Oak Hills to a second place finish.
Corbin Hazlett Boys' Swimming Jr.
Corbin has made great strides this season, proving himself to be one of the most versatile swimmers on the team. He has dropped an astonishing 15 seconds in the 100 breastroke from the previous season- climbing the ranks to become the men's top breaststroker and a part of the "A" 200 medley relay. Corbin has also made incredible improvements in his butterfly, sprint free, individual medley, and distance free. He has done all this whilst balancing a full course load of AP and college prep classes. We should be looking forward to seeing Corbin's trajectory through the end of this season and his senior year.
Lydia Thibodeaux Girls Swimming Jr.
This past senior night, Lydia dominated one of the hardest doubles in high school swimming- the 200 free and 100 fly. With a quick turnaround time, Lydia was able to touch in first place in both events- securing the win over Little Miami. She was our female high point scorer of the meet. Lydia has proven herself to be one of the more versatile swimmers on the women's side, competing in every stroke over all the distances. We are looking forward to seeing her home in her individual medley and fly specialties during her run in the OHSAA state tournament.
