DAYTON - University of Dayton baseball junior Carlos Castillo and track & field junior Abby Carter have been named the Ohio's CollegeAdvantage Student-Athletes of the Week. These awards are for contests held May 1-15.

Castillo put together a strong performance over the last two weeks, helping Dayton to a 5-3 record including an active four-game winnings streak and an Atlantic 10 sweep of St. Bonaventure. The shortstop hit .387 (12-of-31) with four doubles and two home runs, scored seven runs and drove in six more. Castillo also proved to be a menace on the base paths, going 5-for-5 in stolen bases on the week. The Hialeah, Fla. native had three multi-hit games in that timeframe, highlighted by a pair of 3-for-5 games against both Saint Joseph's and St. Bonaventure. Castillo leads the Flyers with a .373 mark in Atlantic 10 play with five home runs and a team-leading 18 RBI.

Carter finished with a silver and a bronze medal at the 2023 Atlantic 10 Outdoor Championships on May 7. In the 1500m race, Carter took third place with her PR time of 4:26.65 while earning a bronze medal. She also finished in second place in the 5000m race with her time of 17:00.45. Carter earned a silver medal in this event only hours after earning a bronze medal in the 1500m race.

Dayton student-athletes will continue to be recognized throughout the end of the school year.
