Columbian Photo Collage of Georgina Romero

Is 2025-26 the "Year of the Hawks"? The HHS Fall Sports Season started off on a positive note with HHS Junior Georgina Romero winning The Columbian's first Athlete of the Week for her early season success in Girls Swimming. She was the top point scorer at the Sprint Pentathlon meet at Mark Morris, winning the 25 IM, 100m butterfly and 25m backstroke.

You can watch her award presentation and interview here.

Romero picked up 148 of the 372 votes cast this week to win the honor. Congratulations and "Go Hawks," Georgina!

Thanks to The Columbian and business sponsor Killer Burger for partnering for the Athlete of the Week recognition program.
