BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - Sarah Lawrence College Athletics proudly inducted their Hall of Fame Class of 2024 on Saturday, November 16th. A total of four inductees were honored in an intimate ceremony at the Campbell Sports Center that kicked off the weekend's homecoming festivities. Sarah Lawrence College President Cristle Collins Judd and Athletic Director Kristin Maile both spoke at the ceremony that saw former coaches, teammates and family member return to Bronxville to celebrate the honorees.

Kevin McCarthy '02 

McCarthy was a member of the Sarah Lawrence Equestrain team during his time at SLC, riding under the instruction of Head Coach Lori Rakoczy. After graduating, McCarthy continued to compete at horse shows, working at top barns in California as both a riding instructor and horse trainer. He then returned to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska and began his return to competitive riding.

Currently, McCarthy spends his time between Lexington, Kentucky and Wellington, Florida, finding success in the 1.35 meter amateur division at some of the most competitive horse shows in the country. When not showing, Kevin is involved in nonprofit work back in Omaha, working on an affordable housing initiative and also promoting accessibility in public space.

Dr. Johnson was also a member of both the Committee on Student Work and the Black Student's Association before graduating and moving on to attend Yale University's School of Medicine, earning his Master's Degree in 1976.
