Inside The Mind Of A Record-Breaker: How Liam Murphy Has Become One Of The Greatest Runners In The NCAA EVER | Insights From His 1500m Collegiate Record & Chase For A National Title


Listen Later

Villanova's Liam Murphy is quickly etching his name into the record books. 


Fresh off shattering the NCAA 1500m record with a blistering 3:33.02 at the Raleigh Relays, Liam joins the show today to discuss his recent run of success on the track.


Since December, Liam has set school records in the 3,000m (with a time of 7:35.47) and the 5,000m (with a time of 13:10.42) in addition to being a key cog on the school’s relay teams.


The Millstone, New Jersey, native’s records and achievements could fill a small tome–in addition to the 3,000 and 5,000m school records he also holds the Villanova indoor mile record (3:53.85) and was a member of the 4x1 mile relay team that ran a 15:51.91 at the 2024 Penn Relays, which today stands as the second-fastest outdoor mile relay time in the world. 


At the NCAA Division 1 Indoor Championships in May, Liam came in fourth in the 3,000m and 11th in the 5,000m. 


At Allentown High School, Liam was the Gatorade New Jersey Boys Cross Country Player of the Year and Boys Track & Field Player of the Year in 2019-20; in addition to winning the 3200m title at the Indoor Meet of Champions in 2019. 


Liam’s trajectory to success was crystal clear even in high school, where he ran personal bests of 4:11 in the 1600m and 8:54 in the 3200m. 


In today's conversation, Liam takes me through almost every single big performance over the past year and a half. Through this conversation you'll get a look into one of the best runners ever in the NCAA.


You won't want to miss this conversation.
