Hall of Honor
By the time of his 1982 Caltech graduation, John McNally had been named First Team All-SCIAC three times, Second Team All-SCIAC once, Caltech's Outstanding Soccer Player of the Season three times, and Caltech's Most Outstanding Athlete one time. With soccer recording far fewer counting statistics than other sports, McNally's dominance was proven not so much by numbers, but by watching his exceptional play as he controlled and directed the offense. This is, of course, on top of his plethora of awards – few athletes in Caltech history have been able to achieve the number of accolades that McNally received.
A team captain, the star played at both the halfback and forward positions across his four years on the pitch, scoring 10 goals in his final three seasons among his responsibilities as a set-up man and primary corner taker.
McNally helped the team to nine impressive wins during his tenure, including five over Redlands and a massive 4-2 victory versus rival Occidental College. He provided two assists in the team's 1980 game versus La Verne.
