The 5-foot-10, 150-pound senior won individual state titles in the long jump as well as the 110- and 300-meter hurdles at the Class 7A state meet this past season, leading the Lions to the team title. Murray also ran the lead leg for the 4x100-meter relay quartet that took third. His bronze medal finish in the 110-meter hurdles at June’s USATF Junior National Championships ranked as the nation’s No. 3 wind-legal time among prep competitors in 2018 as he crossed the line in 13.63 seconds. Murray also PR’d in the 300 hurdles this season (37.63, No. 58 nationally this spring) and the long jump (24-5, U.S. No. 10).
Murray has maintained an 87.6 average in the classroom and has signed a national letter of intent to compete on an athletic scholarship at the University of Tennessee beginning this fall.
A member of the Anna Green Youth Usher Board and the EDGE Ministry Youth Department, Murray has donated his time to a youth Sunday School class. He has also mentored church youth.
