JOHN MURPHY -- Hinsdale Central
 

A seven-time state champion in swimming, Murphy would set a pair of world records and win a gold and bronze Olympic medal.  A versatile swimmer, John won the 100-yard backstroke at the IHSA state finals in 1969, 1970 and 1971.  Murphy captured a first place finish in the state meet 200-yard individual medley in 1971, and was a part of three straight Red Devils 200-yard medley relay championship teams from 1969 to 1971.  Only months after his senior year in high school, Murphy won the 100-meter backstroke at the 1971 Pan-American Games.  John would attend Indiana University where he would swim on three NCAA champion relay teams and win a total of seven Big Ten titles.  As a 19-year-old at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Murphy earned a bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke and a gold medal in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, setting a new world record.   John would be part of a second world record in the same event, swimming the anchor leg in the 1975 World Championships in Columbia.  Murphy was inducted into the Indiana University Hall of Fame in 2015.
