Sophomore Cameron Carrico is the MSU-Pepsi Athlete of the Week (for the week ending March 15) after he made it to a playoff at the Samford Intercollegiate in Oneonta, Ala.

Carrico lost the sudden death playoff on the second hole to Clayton State's Will Wilcox, but it didn't overshadow the fact that Carrico is playing great golf this spring.

At the Samford event, the native of Owensboro, Ky., carded scores of 70-66-73 to finish with a five-under 209. His second round 66 was tied for low score of the 54-hole event.

In two events this spring, Carrico has one win and a runner-up finish and is a combined 11-under par in six rounds with a 72.3 scoring average.

He was also named the Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week March 11.

The Racer men's team swings back into action Sunday March 29 in Atlanta, Ga. at the Chateau Elan Resort in the Larry Nelson Collegiate Invitational.
