During his four-year reign at Charleston High School, McInerney left no stone unturned as he dominated both the school's social sphere and its athletic arena. McInerney rose to the public eye after becoming Spirit Leader of the esteemed Charleston High School Cheering Section. Boosted by this first taste of success, McInerney carried his domination to the track where he avenged his previous jr. high letdown with a victory in the 3200m run at the IHSA Track & Field State Championships. McInerney rounded out his 4-year reign of terror with arguably his greatest achievements: his coronation as Charleston High School Homecoming King and Charleston High School Prom King.
