Cabrillo's Spencer Gallimore and Santa Ynez' Gabriela Robles were named the Athletes of the Week at the Northern Santa Barbara County Athletic Round Table luncheon on Monday.
Gallimore, a junior pitcher-infielder for the Cabrillo baseball team, pitched a no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader at Cabrillo, which the Conquistadores swept from Santa Maria to move to 10-0, 2-0 to open Ocean League play. He helped himself by going 3-for-4 at the plate, with two doubles, four RBIs and two runs scored.
The nightcap marked the debut of the newly-installed lights at Cabrillo's stadium. Major league pitcher Danny Duffy, a Cabrillo alum who was a main driver in the project to obtain the lights, was honored in a ceremony between games.
Robles won the high jump (4 feet, 6 inches), pole vault (9-0) and long jump (15-5) to help the Santa Ynez girls track team defeat Lompoc and Nipomo in the tri-meet at Nipomo.

Dan Duffy, father of MLB star and Cabrillo alumni Danny Duffy speaks to community members at the grand opening ceremony and completion of Donn McIntyre baseball field Saturday evening.
In fall 2020, Duffy began working with Musco Lighting, district leaders, and Cabrillo High coaches and administrators to start planning a lighting project for the Donn McIntyre baseball field. A lack of lighting has meant that student-athletes could not practice or play games in the evening. Duffy committed to funding all of the project’s costs up to $1.5 million, and the district agreed to cover costs beyond the donation.
