McCarty earns Horizon League All-Academic Team honors

INDIANAPOLIS — Wright State's Alex McCarty was named to the 2023 Valeo Cross Country All-Academic Team, as the conference office announced the list voted on by the League's faculty athletics representatives.

To be eligible for Horizon League All-Academic consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher (based on a 4.00 scale), have completed at least one year at the member institution (excluding summer school), having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits, and participate in 50 percent of the team's overall contests.

McCarty earned First Team All-League honors for the first time in his Raider career after placing seventh with a personal record time of 24:34.9 in the 8,000-meter run at the 2023 Horizon League Cross Country Championship. The Eaton, Ohio native totaled four top-10 finishes during the cross country season, including a third-place mark in the 8K (24:38.0) at the Live in Lou Classic. He had a PR time of 30:59.4 in the 10,000-meter run at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, becoming just the third individual in program history to break 31 minutes in the race.

The Nursing major has received Horizon League All-Academic Team honors three times since joining Wright State in 2020. McCarty has also been named to the HL Honor Roll on three occasions.
