Watson And Johnson Chosen As CollegeAdvantage Student-Athletes Of The Week

Dayton Student-Athletes Will Be Recognized Throughout the School Year

DAYTON - University of Dayton baseball graduate student Nolan Watson and track and field freshman Kendall Johnson have been named the Ohio's CollegeAdvantage Student-Athletes of the Week. These awards are for contests held March 25-31.

Watson had a strong opening weekend of Atlantic 10 play against Fordham last week, hitting .500 (5-of-10) with two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases for the Flyers. Watson turned in an OPS of 1.715 thanks in large part to the two homers, but also with his .615 on-base average. The Manahawkin, N.J., native had hits in all three games for Dayton, including multi-hit games in the FlyBoys' two wins.

Johnson won the long jump at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational hosted by the University of Cincinnati and shattered the outdoor long jump record at UD with a mark of 6.32m. The best jump in the Atlantic 10 this season, the Tulsa, Oklahoma, native now holds the 17th-longest jump in the country and fourth-best mark this year by a freshman. The victory marks her third win of the year and her first during the outdoor season. In addition to a personal best jump, Johnson was also able to PR in the 200m (24.82).
