Grand Valley State University Athletics

Liz Murphy will go down as one of the all-time greatest throwers in Grand Valley State track & field history. Murphy was a four-time GLIAC Champion, a two-time NCAA Division II Individual Champion and still holds the top weight throw (69-6.25) and hammer throw (205-5) in GVSU history. A six-time All-American, she never finished lower than third at the NCAA Championships in three appearances. Murphy went back-to-back at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the hammer throw, capturing the 2011 title (193-11) and the 2012 title (204-6). She was a part of six GLIAC Championships and four NCAA Division II team championships. GVSU went back-to-back with team indoor and outdoor National Championships in 2011 and 2012.
