The record is held by German Fernandez (Oklahoma State) at 3:55.02 and McCarthy’s weekend performance looks set to secure him a place in next month’s Millrose Games in New York.

McCarthy’s personal best secured him a ‘Big East’ record and he was two seconds inside the qualifying standard for the NCAA indoor championships.
