Christian “MUSK-OX” McCarthy (OVIBUS MOSCHATUS)

The “Musk-Ox” is a Junior at the University of Kentucky (UK) where he is majoring in Physical Therapy. Christian played Football, Basketball and baseball in High School. Christian developed into an outstanding Long Jumper his senior year in High School and had given serious consideration to joining the UK track team until the need to work while attending college became the over riding consideration. Although Christian was disappointed that he could not Long Jump for the UK Wildcats, he has resurrected his competitive urges and has decided to become a “Food Warrior”.

The “Musk-Ox” who is also referred to as “Ovibus Moschatus McCarthy” by his many latin speaking friends, has written AICE and has said that he never has met anybody who can out eat him. “Moscatus McCarthy” states that although he has a busy work and school schedule, the flexibility of Competitive Eating will allow him to make a serious run at becoming a top ranked Eater. Christian has followed the progress and news stories of recent UK graduate and top ranked Eater, Ian “the Invader” Hickman and feels that he could be the next great eater to come out of the University of Kentucky. All indications are that this Lagrange Kentucky Native has the ability to become a top eater when you look at his accomplishments: 194 Chicken wings in one sitting at Hooters in Lexington (Store record, he broke his previous record of 154) two slices of pizza short of four full Pizza Pies in only 15 Minutes at CiCi’s Restaurant and he also slaughtered the 64 oz Steak (with two sides and buns) at Reno’s Roadhouse in less than 17 Minutes! The Musk-Ox has planned to attend the first National Strawberry Eating Championship in Delaplane Virginia in May 2006.
