Alan Williams and Summer Garrison took care of business on the court to earn Athlete of the Week honors from the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table.
Garrison, a senior on the Santa Barbara High girls tennis team, won three singles matches at the CIF-Southern Section Regional individual tournament to earn a spot in the final rounds of the section championships at the Whittier Narrows Recreation complex this week. Garrison also won a marathon match against a highly ranked player from Torrey Pines during the CIF Southern California Regionals team competition at the Claremont Club. In that match, she saved five match points to pull out a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 victory.
Williams was a force for the UCSB men’s basketball team at the Great Alaska Shootout, where the Gauchos finished as runners-up. He recorded double-doubles in all three tournament games in Anchorage. In the 65-63 championship game loss to Colorado State, he scored 22 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked four shots. In a semifinal overtime win over Mercer, he produced a 20-20 with 22 points and 20 rebounds. He had 12 points and 12 rebounds in an opening-round victory over Washington State. Williams was named the tournament MVP.
The honorable mention choices include Daniel Carlin (Westmont men’s basketball), Adilene Aldapa (San Marcos cross country) and Chanel Hoffman (UCSB volleyball).
