Dos Pueblos lacrosse’s Jack Finneran and Santa Barbara High track & field’s Elina Stump turned in big performances last week to earn this week’s Santa Barbara Athlete of the Week honors.
The pairing was honored at Monday’s SBART Press Luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Cafe.
Finneran had a pair of strong offensive games to power the Chargers to two non-league victories and an early-season record of 3-0.

Meanwhile, Stump started her season on a high note for the Dons in a quad-meet against Cate, Righetti and St. Bonaventure.
