McCarthy was also part of the 2002 and 2003 teams that placed fourth at the national event. Throughout his career, he earned 21 All-America honors and four Honorable Mention All-America accolades from 2000 to 2004. McCarthy’s first national championship was in the 200-yard IM in 2002 with his second coming in 2004 in the 400-yard IM with a national-record time. McCarthy not only had two national championships, he finished second in four individual events and two relays. He was a three-time University Athletic Association (UAA) Athlete of the Year, UAA Rookie of the Year and won 16 UAA titles (individual and relays), including the 200-yard backstroke and 400-yard IM all four years and the 200-yard IM three times.
