Small-town runner prepping for big-time races at KU
It's no small step from Kansas class 1A high school athletics to competition in the Big Eight. It's a giant leap and Louise Murphy says she is ready to make it.

Murphy also won the state 14 outdoor mile three times and the state indoor mile once. She said a judge's decision on a photo of her driving nursing her fourth 14 state outdoor mile title.
Her hometown, Genesee, has a population of 550 and her high school had 40 students.
"My high school was 1A," Murphy, a freshman, said, "and the athletic competition wasn't that good. I'm a little apprehensive about the competition on the university level but I like the challenge and I will willing to try my best."
"I was mad at myself for having lost mainly because I didn't run a good race. I guess that helped me, though. Because I'm going to go going to try to do really well my senior year."
"I received some junior college basketball scholarship offers," she said, "but although I really enjoy playing basketball, I should have a better chance of succeeding in track."
Murphy earned all-league honors in basketball during her junior and senior years. Her senior year she made the state 1A basketball team.
While she was in high school, Murphy paired with the boys of the Ivyleyball team, track and cross country.
She hadn't competed in cross country until her senior year.
She qualified for the National Junior Olympics each year while in high school.
"Up until my senior year, I'd always played volleyball at the beginning of the year."
During her senior year, she won the 1A state outdoor mile (5:25), the indoor mile (5:22) and ran second at the state 1A cross country meet.
"Someone told me it would help my track running if I ran cross country, as I decided to try."
Murphy said she liked cross country because it built her endurance.
"Longer distances in track are my strength", Murphy said.
"Since cross country is such a demanding sport, I feel it strengthens me both physically and mentally."
Anderson said, "At the moment, I'd say Louise is one of our five runners. Louise will win."
