Soccer standout Jairo Carrillo has been chosen as Rahway’s Union County Conference Boys Athlete of the Week.

Carrillo really stepped up in the Union County Tournament games for Rahway, controlling the midfield against Hillside in the first round game, and then scoring two goals in a come from behind 3-2 win against Linden in the second round game. In the quarter final game against Elizabeth, Castillo again scored a goal, but the team came up short in a 4-2 loss.

“Jairo’s hard work in the off season has really paid off,” said Rahway coach Kevin O’Callahan. “He can play any position, uses both feet equally well and his soccer IQ is off the charts. Jairo is someone who as a coach I can maneuver around to play anywhere depending on the game situation. The best part about Jairo is a total team player with a great attitude and will do anything in order to help the team.”
