Castillo is a seven-time All-American for the Gator gymnastics team and owns a career total of 35 event titles.

Castillo and the rest of the No. 4 Gator gymnastics team returns to action Friday, March 19 at 7 p.m. against perennial power No. 9 Utah. Tickets are $4.00 for adults while children 17 and under and UF students with Gator1 cards are admitted free. The first 500 children (age 12 and under) receive a Gator bookmark. Area Domino's are distributing free admission tickets for the meet. It is also Senior Night and Florida's five member class will be honored in a post-meet ceremony.
