The Mustangs sent 60 teams to the NCAA Division II postseason during his time as AD with numerous programs enjoying historic high points.

Under Carr's leadership, MSU Athletics enjoyed a decade of dominance with each program making at least one NCAA Division II postseason showing.

The men's basketball program put a strangle hold on the Lone Star Conference, winning six league titles and four postseason championships while advancing to the Elite Eight in three consecutive seasons with the first two coming under Grant McCasland in 2010 and 2011 and a third in 2012 with Nelson Haggerty at the helm.

The men's soccer program qualified for postseason play in nine out of 10 seasons with Carr as the athletic director, ending the 2007 and 2010 campaigns in the national quarterfinals.

The softball program also thrived, winning more games than any program in the nation in 2010 and 2011 with 108 victories. The Mustangs were national semifinalists in 2011, while earning selection for South Central Regional play in six seasons during the magical decade.

Brenna Moore won the school's first varsity national championship at the 2015 NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championships at The Meadows in Michigan. That came on the heels of winning a South Central Region individual title at the Foxtail Golf Club in Rohnert Park, California.

A year earlier, Derek Oland broke through for the Super Region individual champion for the men at The Meadows.

In all, the men's and women's golf teams combined for 13 postseason showings during Carr's term as athletic director.

The women's basketball program advanced to three consecutive regional appearances beginning with a run to the finals in 2013.

The women's soccer Mustangs claimed two Lone Star Conference championships, while advancing to the NCAA Division II playoffs on four occasions.

That's not to mention a run of three league championships and six postseason appearances in 10 seasons for Bill Maskill's football program.

The men's and women's tennis programs also flourished, combining for 12 NCAA Division II postseason runs.

Cross Country also enjoyed an exceptional run, claiming six LSC titles and the 2011 South Central Regional Championship. The Mustangs advanced to the NCAA Division II Championships on three occasions, finishing 11th in 2011, 15th in 2008, and 17th in 2010.

The volleyball Mustangs matched a program record with 27 wins while advancing to the NCAA Division II postseason for the first time during Carr's first year at MSU in 2007.

In all, Carr presided over 28 Lone Star Conference Championship teams during his tenure as the director of athletics at MSU.
