The University of Tennessee student grabbed the 100m breaststroke gold on Friday night and added the 200m breaststroke title on Saturday night.
The Marlin's Swimming Club graduate set an SEC meet record of 57.25 seconds to win the 100m crown.
McSharry became the first Tennessee swimmer to win the 100m breaststroke title back-to-back.
In Texas, McSharry added the 200m to her locker 24 hours later.
McSharry swam 2.05:11 to win the 200m for the first time in her collegiate career.
