Career
In 1984, he earned All-American honors for Georgia Tech and was the NCAA champion both indoors and outdoors. He gained success in the United States Olympic Track Trials, qualifying for the 1984 Olympic Team. He captured the bronze medal in the 400 m behind Alonzo Babers and Gabriel Tiacoh in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He competed with Babers in the 4400 meters relay event, and he led the team to victory, winning his first Olympic gold medal.
He earned 400 m gold medals at the 1986 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Indianapolis, as well as the 1986 IAAF World Indoor Championships. He competed in the 1987 World Championships in Athletics but was disqualified in the quarter-finals. However, he received a gold medal in the relay, as did compatriots Danny Everett, Roddie Haley, and Butch Reynolds. He competed in the relay heats at the 1988 Summer Olympics and received a gold medal for his efforts as the American runners defeated in the final. He won the 400 m indoor championships at the 1989 IAAF World Indoor Championships, a record of 45.59 seconds in the process.
McKay made history by becoming the first Black track and field athlete to compete for the New York Athletic Club in 1989, which had traditionally barred Blacks and Jews from participating.
In 1990, he failed a doping test for the banned stimulant phenylpropanolamine. The ban was reversed after being outlawed for three months on the grounds that neither McKay nor the doctor who had administered him a flu shot were aware that the banned drug was present in the medicine.
His final international medal came at the 1991 IAAF World Indoor Championships, where he took the gold in the men's relay. About 1994, McKay retired from active participation. He remains the joint United States and Panamerican record holder in the seldom-contested indoor 4 200 m relay, which he won in 1991 in Glasgow, Scotland, alongside Thomas Jefferson, Raymond Pierre, and Kevin Little.
He now works as a track coach at North Springs High School, a public high school in Sandy Springs, Georgia. She has raised her two sons after McKay's sister's murder.
The Dunwood High School Girls Track and Field 5AAAAAAAAAAA Team was coached by Coach David Hunter to the State Championships for the 2012-2013 season.
