UTPA ADDS MARGEAUX MCCARTHY OF PSJA NORTH HS

EDINBURG, TX-The University of Texas-Pan American track and field team has added another athlete for this fall.

Margeaux McCarthy of Pharr, Texas and PSJA North High School will join the Broncs. She will enter UTPA as a freshman, with four years of eligibility.

McCarthy finished third at 800 meters at the District Championships. She was also a member of the PSJA cross country team.

“Margeaux is a very good athlete who is very strong academically,” said UTPA Head Coach Ricky Vaughn. “She should be able to come in here and make an immediate impact for us. She should be able to come in here and add depth to our middle distance area. We expect her to run the 800 and the 1500 for us, as well as compete in cross country. It’s always good to sign local kids who are as talented as she is.”

McCarthy is the third athlete to sign with UTPA during the spring signing period.
