Lake Forest College's sophomore Ally McCarthy was voted the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week on Tuesday for her performance at the Carthage Classic Invite over the weekend. The women's team finished second overall at the competition, placing behind only Carthage College.
McCarthy won both the 1650- and 500-freestyle, and posted times in the 1650-freestyle and 500-freestyle that would have placed first at the conference championship back in February 2020. Her times of 17:44.48 in the mile and 5:10.84 in the 500 put her at the top of the conference rankings for both events.
McCarthy also placed second in the 100-breaststroke and fourth in the 200-freestyle at the meet.
She was also named Women's Forester Athlete of the Week earlier today.
MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's sports information directors.
