BATON ROUGE — Forward Glen Davis and swimmer Katie Gilmore were named the LSU Male and Female Athletes of the Week Tuesday following a vote by a local media panel.
Davis was recognized after turning in a pair of double figure scoring games against Vanderbilt and Georgia last week.
The junior had 12 points and seven rebounds in 36 minutes of action against the Commodores. He then added 18 points, 14 rebounds and a career-high six assists versus the Bulldogs. The double double marked the 40th of Davis’ career and his league-leading 11th of the season.
Gilmore led LSU to a quad-meet victory over Houston, Rice and UNO last weekend that helped the Lady Tigers’ secure their second straight winning season.
The sophomore from Loxley, Ala., won five of the six events in which she participated. She guided LSU to relay victories in the 400 freestyle on Friday and the 400 medley and the 200 free on Saturday. Individually, Gilmore led a 1-2-3 Lady Tiger finish in the 50-meter free with a time of 23.62. She also won the 100 butterfly (56.35) and was second in a 1-2-3 LSU finish in the 100 free (51.33).
