Veronika Gulvin’s pitching prowess for the Dos Pueblos softball team and Chad Visser’s mastery on the golf course for San Marcos earned them Athlete of the Week honors at Monday’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table press luncheon.

Gulvin threw a perfect game against Pacifica, striking out 17 of 21 hitters in a 3-0 victory. Later in the week, she bounced back from a loss to Ventura and fired a no-hitter at Alemany, 5-0, at the Manlet Tournament in Simi Valley. She struck out 12 and walked only one.

Visser has earned medalist honors in all three San Marcos boys golf team victories this season. He shot a 1-over par 72 in a Channel League win over Buena at Rancho San Marcos.

Athletes earning honorable mention honors include Maija Ninness (San Marcos swimming), Aliyah Huerta-Leipner (San Marcos softball), Allison Bliss (San Marcos girls lacrosse), Jonah Seif (UCSB volleyball), Justin Lehman (San Marcos boys lacrosse), Justin Bruce (SBCC baseball) and Shane Bieber (UCSB baseball).
