The Rundown
Whittling away and whittling away. Colin has been honing his craft at Divine Child since 2021, piece by piece working his way toward the top of the State.
Grandson of James, son of Guy and Patricia, nephew to James, brother of Kaitlin, cousin of Emma & Nick, Colin has been surrounded by distance running his entire life. It’s no surprise that he’s embarked on this patient approach to the top.
After a freshman year largely run in the 17’s and 18’s, his first breakthrough came at 2021’s State Finals, where Murray sped to a 16:58, a 30+ second personal best at the time. A year later, he saved his biggest races again for the end of the year, spitting a sub-16 at Region 18 then a 16:16 at State. One year after those, the same trend! 15:27 at State, his current personal best.
Patterns match almost perfectly in track as well, evidenced by June’s 4:17/9:19 State Finals. Okay, the 9:19 wasn’t a personal best, but it was a double and came off a momentous personal best in the 1600m. Both earned podium spots, the first individual track ones of his career.
I’m not sure if it’s the family culture, the DC tradition (Mike Hegarty always came through at the end of the year), or if Colin just knows how to unleash when it matters. I hope he keeps this theme going.
