While most high schoolers were enjoying their summer break from racing late last summer, Kate Murphy of Lake Braddock (VA) found herself competing the best pros in the country in the Olympic Trials for the 1500. Murphy made it all the way to the semi-finals after an incredible spring, which saw her win the adidas Dream 1500 in US #3 all-time 4:07.51. She also split 4:37 on the 1600 meter anchor leg for the Penn Relays DMR champions for Lake Braddock as well in one of her top moments of the 2016 outdoor season.
