McCarthy won a pair of events and placed in the top four in two others at the 11-team Carthage Classic Invitational over the weekend. She touched the wall first by more than 13 seconds in the 1650-free with a time of 17:44.47, which is easily the fastest mark in the league this season. McCarthy added a triumph in the 500-free, where her 5:10.18 was also the best in the MWC this year. Both of her victorious times would have won events at the last MWC Championship Meet. The sophomore added a runner-up finish in the 100-breast (1:08.97) and was fourth in the 200-free (1:58.56). Her times in those events rank second and fourth, respectively, in the conference. A contributor on relays as well, McCarthy helped the Foresters' 400-medley relay finish third at the meet with the league's best time (4:06.36) of the season.
