Archbishop Mitty field hockey player Tiana Osuna is the Bay Area News Group girls athlete of the week of Oct. 24-30 after she received 12,789 votes (29.66%) by the 5 p.m. deadline on Wednesday
Sacred Heart Prep water polo player Natalia Szczerba grabbed 10,722 votes (24.87%) to finish second.
Burlingame volleyball player Ella Duong finished third in a highly competitive week of voting.
Osuna took just one shot at Los Altos last week. But the junior forward made the most of the opportunity by scoring the only goal of her season in the 3-0 win. That result closed out a 17-2-1 regular season for the Monarchs.
