Natasha Feshbach of Santa Barbara High rose to the occasion in the multi-events competition at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational Track and Field Meet.

Carpinteria’s Mo Sanchez came through for the Warriors on the mound and at the plate in a Frontier League baseball game.

Their performances earned them Athlete of the Week honors at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table press luncheon.

Feshbach, a sophomore, finished ninth in the heptathlon at Arcadia, scoring a career-best 4,315 points. She set PRs in five events: 100 hurdles (15.26), high jump (5-1.75), 200 meters (25.98), 800 (2:24.84) and javelin (58-7).

Sanchez, a senior, fired a complete-game, three-hit shutout against Villanova. He helped his own cause with two hits, including a two-run homer, in the 3-0 win.
