Fort Mill swimmer Lila Hadley is The Herald’s high school athlete of the week.

The Yellow Jackets’ sophomore won Region III 5A titles in both the 100 breaststroke and 400 free relay at Rock Hill Aquatic Center on Oct. 5.

Hadley, an all-region performer, also finished as runner-up in the 200 individual medley and 200 free relay at the same meet.

Hadley’s efforts also helped the Fort Mill girls’ swimming to a Region III 5A title the same day.
