Brooke Gomez - WHS Senior and Student Athlete

 

Brooke Gomez is an outstanding high school athlete and scholar. Known for her success on the basketball court, Brooke has tried something new this season … track! And she loves it.

 

Brooke is known for buzzer beaters and coming through for her team when the pressure is on. For example, on senior night of the Wolves were down by one point playing in front of a record crowd with little time left on the clock. Brooke was fouled and went to the free throw line, sinking both shots to win the game against GW. She fashions herself after her longtime favorite legend, LeBron James, watching highlights of him before every game she plays. Plus, someday she wants a $27 million Nike contract just like Caitlin Clark.

 

According to Jesse Hernandez, Athletic Director, “Brooke is an outstanding student athlete. She is an all star basketball player who picked up track and field for the first time this year. She is doing an amazing job.”

 

“Brooke embodies excellence not just in her skills but also in her character, elevating her team with her talent and fostering a culture of support and respect,” teacher Steve Fendry writes. “Brooke's commitment to growth, empathy, and collaboration makes Brooke not only a great teammate but also a shining example of what it means to be a better human.”
