Utti named player of the week
By GARY HENLEY
The Astorian
The Fresno State wom-
en’s basketball team had a
good week last week, and
so did senior forward Maddi
Utti.
For the fourth time in
her career, Utti was named
the Mountain West Confer-
ence’s women’s basketball
Player of the Week.
Despite dealing with
shoulder problems this sea-
son, the former Seaside
Seagull is having another
outstanding season, aver-
aging 16.0 points, 6.5
rebounds and six assists per
game in early February.
Following a 91-69 win
over New Mexico Jan. 30,
Fresno State posted two vic-
tories in three days at Utah
State, 90-62 and 93-85.
Utti scored 16 points
in both games, shooting
a team-high 60.9% from
the fi eld (14-of-23). She

For her performance in two wins over Utah State, Maddi Utti
earned the Mountain West Player of the Week for the fourth
time in her career at Fresno State.
recorded her second- and
fourth-highest single-game
fi eld goal percentages this
year (63.6%, 58.3%).
The defending Mountain
West Player of the Year, Utti
set the pace for the Bull-
dogs, who had 51 assists in
the two-game series. She
was one assist shy of tying
her career high in the fi rst
game with fi ve, then set a
new career high in Game 2
with seven, also the most by
any post player in the con-
ference in a single game this
season.
In the second game, Utti
scored or assisted on 15 of
the team’s fi rst 20 points,
as the Bulldogs jumped out
to a 20-8 lead. Fresno State
went on to record its third
90-point game in a row,
becoming the fi rst team
in program history to post
three straight games of 90
points or more.
The very same day she
was named conference
Player of the Week, Utti
was selected as one of 30
women’s basketball players
across the country named
as a candidate for the 2020-
21 senior CLASS Award
(Celebrating Loyalty and
Achievement for Staying in
School).
The award recognizes
student-athletes who excel
both on and off the court. To
be eligible, the player must
be classifi ed as an NCAA
Division I senior and have
notable achievements in
four areas of excellence:
community,
classroom,
character and competition.
It encourages student-ath-
letes to use their platform in
athletics to make a positive
impact as leaders in their
communities.
Candidates will be nar-
rowed to two fi elds of 10
fi nalists later this month,
and those names will be
placed on the offi cial bal-
lot, which will be distrib-
uted nationwide to media,
coaches and fans, who will
then select one male and one
female candidate.
Winners
will
be
announced during the 2021
NCAA men’s and wom-
en’s Final Four games this
spring.
Surfi ng: Camp created a ‘sistership of women’

rental partner for wetsuits

“Suddenly, I didn’t know
if we could offer anything,”
she said. “I thought, ‘I bet-
ter take the foot off the gas
here.’”
Throughout March and
April, she waited to see
what would happen with the
evolving public health crisis.
When it became clear Clat-
sop County was unlikely
to get to Phase III of the
state’s reopening plan —
when Hallahan’s programs
could run at full capac-
ity — she started explor-
ing what it would take to
operate safely within phase
II coronavirus restrictions.
That meant going down to
groups of eight students and
two coaches, instead of 12 to
16 campers and three to four
coaches.
Ultimately, she decided it
was better to run an altered
version of her program “than
to go a whole year without it
and lose momentum.”
“I’m so glad I did,” Hal-
lahan said. “It panned out.”
In addition to smaller
camp sizes, she also imple-
mented protocol for screen-
ing participants, wearing
masks and social distanc-
ing. Normally, she works up
close with campers when in
the water, but she adapted
her teaching style to instruct
from several feet away and
was pleased with the results.
“It really is more empow-
ering,” she said, adding sev-
eral campers mentioned
feeling more capable of
going out alone in the future.
She also tends to host
a weeklong women’s surf
retreat, which was canceled
last summer and won’t be
back this year. However, the
two-day weekender camps
provide a similar oppor-
tunity for participants to
immerse themselves in the
practice and also bond with
one another.
After the camp, Hallahan

said, “We’ve created this
new sistership of women
that they can connect with in
the future.”
Hallahan also used this
winter, and the downtime
necessitated by COVID, to
try something new for her
business, which is going into
its 17th season. She devel-
oped a 12-part video series
covering numerous top-
ics, from basic information
to “all those insights you
kind of need when you’re
on your path of surfi ng,”
she said. In a way, the video
series, which is available via
Vimeo, encompasses much
of the knowledge partici-
pants would normally get if
they could spend an entire
week at the camp.
“I think it will be a really
good addition for women
that come,” Hallahan said.
“They want to have more
knowledge.”
Dr. Jason Harper chose his medical profession because
it allowed him to help people in the most meaningful
ways. Dr. Harper joined Yakima Valley Farm Workers
Clinic in part because we treat everyone in our
communities, not just those who have health coverage.
He’s grateful for the opportunity to serve his new
hometown without worry about who can access his
care. When Dr. Harper isn’t treating patients, he’s off
exploring his new home town, hiking, and spending
time with his family.
Now accepting new patients.
