After outlasting Archbishop Wood graduate Gary Martin on the final leg of the race, Murphy said the Virginia sophomore is"on the right path."
Sean Dolan , Luke Rakowitz , and Watcke ran to Murphy after he crossed the finish line screaming “Let’s go — come on!” and chest bumped his teammates. “He’s a great runner,” Murphy said. ”I was definitely anticipating him being there at the end and giving me the best competition. When I was trying to go over and brainstorm different scenarios that could happen in the race he was definitely in a lot of those.Martin, a sophomore at Virginia who broke the school’s mile record with a time of 3:54.73 in February, was disappointed with Friday’s results, but said it was a good test for him to see that he can compete with top-notch competition.
“He’s on the right path — I saw he just signed an NIL deal with Brooks Running, which is a huge deal,” Murphy said. “Just keep at it. I’m sure he’s not far off with his PR’s right now.”The girls’ 4x400-meter Championship of America race had a wild finish. Bullis of Potomac, Md., broke its own American record set earlier this year with a time of 3:35.17, but it was only good enough for second. Jamaica’s Hydel won in 3:34.
There was a repeat champion in the 4x800, too. Union Catholic of Scotch Plains, N.J., won in 8:41.20, breaking the national record time by nearly two seconds.
