Baseball Players of the Week

Player of the Week
Trevor Goodwin, IU Southeast | Jr. - Infielder - Meade County, Kentucky
Goodwin put up video game numbers this past week, hitting .778 with five extra base hits and 9 RBI.

He also had a ridiculous 1.889 slugging percentage, which gave Goodwin an absurd 2.713 OPS.

Pitcher of the Week

Softball Players of the Week

Christopher was also stout on the basepaths and in the field -- as the junior stole four bases and scored five runs over the course of the week and fielded her position at center field flawlessly, as Christopher did not commit an error in eight fielding chances.

Pitcher of the Week
Madi Ogden, Rio Grande | Sr. - Pitcher - Williamsburg, Ohio

Maria Trembach, Oakland City | So. - Kyiv, Ukraine

Austin, who threw a 49.33 meter, or 161-foot, 10-inch throw at the 2024 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in May, bettered that mark off the rip in the opening meet of the 2025 outdoor track and field season by posting a NAIA National B' Standard throw and a new personal best mark of 49.60 meters -- 162 feet, nine inches -- Friday at the Cumberlands (Ky.) Early Spring Meet.

Female Field Athlete of the Week
Jaina Bailey, Shawnee State | Sr. - Ironton, Ohio
The efforts of Shawnee State women's field athlete Jaina Bailey again proved to be terrific, as the Rock Hill High School alum's 143-foot, one-inch launch in the hammer throw (43.62 meters) proved to be a meet-winning performance in the event -- leading an effort where the Bears posted 44 points to finish fifth in its opening outdoor track and field event of the spring season -- the Early Spring Meet, which was held at James H. Taylor, II Stadium in Williamsburg, Ky.
