Cameron Carrico was named the Golfer of the Week by the Ohio Valley Conference.

Carrico fired three consecutive rounds of 74 to finish at 222 (+9) at the University of Kentucky Bluegrass Invitational in Lexington last week. That score placed Carrico third overall (out of 96 competitors), three strokes off the final score of the co-champions. His strong performance helped the Racers to a tie for second place (with Missouri) in the final team standings. The field included four other OVC schools.

Carrico is having a tremendous freshman season out of Owensboro, Ky. with four top-10 finishes in the 2007-08 season. His 73.4 scoring average also ranks among the best in the OVC.

The Racers begin play at the Country Club of Paducah on Sunday at the OVC Championship. The 54-hole event ends with the final 18 holes on Wednesday.
