gozips19 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Curious as to who will have a better chance to medal at some point between Murphy and Barber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Goodbye Clayton. Thanks for representing UA and don't be a stranger http://www.gozips.com/sports/track/2015-16/releases/20160613jcpyqv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I hope everyone has caught the information about watching this on TV tonight. Clayton WON his semifinal heat, and is running in the 800 Meter Final tonight at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR. His finals race is supposed to be on NBC Sports Network at 8:51PM Eastern Time. Good Luck Clayton. We'd love to see you in the Olympics representing our University and our Country.

zippyfan34 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Is he also trying in the 1,500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 WOW. What a late kick to win !! Zippyfan, they explained that he didn't have a good enough national qualifying time to run in the 1,500, so he's only in the 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Lots of Twitter action on Clayton's trials victory. Clayton was trending for a couple hours. How many of you know the man who presented him with the trials gold medal -- Dave Wottle? Canton and BGSU product. Here he is winning the US' last gold medal in the 800 at Munich in '72. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Still would have loved to see what he could have done in the 1,500. 3rd place tonight was .2 seconds better than his NCAA final time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait four years -- that's his eventual distance. He'll probably concentrate on that after Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Clayton Murphy finished 4th in his heat just missing qualifying to the next round. Edit: Disregard my comment.

gozips19 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Great to hear! Thought he'd be out as he placed 4th. He got clipped twice diring the race. How he didn't face plant on the first one is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 So best time during this round was 1:45:09 and Clayton ran 1:44:76 to win the U.S. Olympic trial. I know different conditions, temperatures, etc but hopefully he can run another good race and get to the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
