Westmont College basketball standout Cory Blau and San Marcos track star Erica Schroeder are the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athletes of the Week.
Blau is a big reason Westmont advanced to the semifinals of the NAIA National Tournament for the first time since 1999. In a 65-61 quarterfinal win over Campbellsville, Ky., he scored a team-high 17 points and made two clutch free throws in the final seconds. In the semifinals, he scored 25 points, helping the Warriors defeat Mid-American Christian (Okla.), 78-66, to reach the Fab Four.
Schroeder won the 1600 meters in 4:56.81 at the inaugural Royals Track Classic. Her time is No.1 in Division 3 of the CIF-Southern Section and the fourth fastest in the state.
The honorable mention choices include RJ Cordeiro (Bishop Diego baseball), Matt Turk (San Marcos track & field), Manny Manzone (SBCC golf), Hayden Millington (Santa Barbara High boys volleyball), Natasha Feshbach (Santa Barbara High track & field) and Kirsten Karr (Westmont women’s basketball).
