And why not? He\u2019s the hometown hero who has bulldozed his competitors to date this season, and he has no intentions of slowing down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The 18-year-old has been firing on all cylinders this season with personal bests of 10.35 (100m), 20.62 (200m) and 46.31 (400m) on his way to demolishing multiple South Australian records &#8211; but Murphy says he is just scratching the surface of his potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s been good to finally get some results from all the work I\u2019ve been doing, but it\u2019s nothing that I haven\u2019t expected. I haven\u2019t fulfilled the goals I planned for the season so I\u2019m not too excited, I\u2019m just getting started,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s important to note that Murphy has proven sprinting pedigree. His Mum, Tania Van Heer, won two gold medals at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and represented Australia six times internationally, along with rewriting a long list of South Australian records \u2013 a history that Murphy embraces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI actually take it as a confidence booster. I\u2019m trying to make my own legacy and step out of my Mum\u2019s shadow because I have my own goals that I want to achieve, but the comparisons are obviously there,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cShe started coaching me at 11-years-old, but I absolutely hated it. She had to outsource a coach because I didn\u2019t like that feeling, but she\u2019s so supportive and has never pushed me \u2013 I\u2019ve always done athletics because it makes me feel good and I like running fast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">After spending the early years of his junior career plagued by hamstring injuries, Murphy says that his progress is the product of 10-months of unhindered training under the guidance of Peter Fitzgerald \u2013 suggesting that his personal bests will only continue to drop, beginning at the Adelaide Invitational on Saturday. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019ll be very surprised if Fred Martin\u2019s Australian Under 20 record [20.48] survives another week. I\u2019m looking to run high 20.3\u2019s, but that\u2019s only if I come out the blocks fast and perform really well \u2013 I\u2019m in really good shape,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe\u2019re focusing on the 200m this season but depending on how the 100m goes on Saturday, we might look at developing that. We\u2019re going to leave the 400m because I\u2019ve done enough of them and I hate them so much, I throw up basically every time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Murphy concedes that he was originally all-in on the 200m at Adelaide until it was announced that Rohan Browning would open his season by running the 100m at the event, with the young South Australian holding back his excitement when explaining his decision to race the Olympic sensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThat\u2019s a decision that my coach and I made only four days ago. I\u2019m so stoked, the fact that he is coming to Adelaide and wants to start his season here \u2013 I\u2019m all for it. I wasn\u2019t even going to run the 100m, but I just want to see what it\u2019s like having someone like that in the race,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The junior\u2019s emergence has offered him a fresh perspective on what his future in athletics may look like, as he and his coach assess several options in 2022 including the World Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games and World Athletics Under 20 Championships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m obviously interested in going to the World Championships, but I need to get my points up which would basically mean winning nationals, all the track classics I\u2019m planning on doing, and the Oceania Championships as well,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cPeter [Fitzgerald] has been instrumental in helping me, he knows exactly what I need. He lives in Melbourne and I\u2019m in Adelaide, so we do a lot of FaceTime and calls \u2013 but that\u2019s just a testament to how good he is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Having locked away a swag of world junior qualifiers already this season, it appears as though Murphy will be seen in the green and gold in 2022 provided he stays in good health \u2013 but with five months until major international championships, the junior is hungry to make an impression in the senior ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A university student studying civil engineering who enjoys gaming and cafes, Aidan Murphy is just a regular 18-year-old \u2013 who also happens to be one of the fastest men in Australia. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong>By Lachlan Moorhouse, Athletics Australia<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AIDAN MURPHY &#8211; by Des Kelly The logo says it all.
