For Cheshire High School, Murphy has won six Connecticut HS State titles in individual events (the 50 and 100 free), and she’s been named Swimmer of the Year by three local CT papers while in high school. She’s also a Scholastic All-American and she has been on two All-American relays with Cheshire.
With Cheshire Y, she’s been on six YMCA Nationals title-earning relays. Individually, she’s made several YMCA LC Nationals A-finals, and was the 100 free runner-up in 2018 (57.84). Most recently, at the Connecticut Senior Champs in March, Murphy won the 50 free, tied for the win in the 100 free, and took fourth in the 500 free, while being on all five of Cheshire’s winning relays.
