The 5-foot-10, 165-pound senior won the Division 2 state meet this past season with a time of 15:37.9, breaking the tape 9.9 seconds ahead of his next-closest competitor and leading the Hornets to a fourth-place finish as a team. McCarthy was also the state’s top finisher at the Nike Cross Southeast Regional Championships. The 2025 Delaware Cross Country Runner of the Year, he was undefeated against in-state competition at 5K.
McCarthy has maintained an A-minus average in the classroom. He remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
A black belt in Taekwondo, McCarthy is also a competitive chess player and owns his own yard-cutting business. He has volunteered locally at the Ardon Summer Fair and donated his time to multiple community service initiatives through Catholic Youth Ministries.
