She spent the remainder of her collegiate career with the Utah Utes, where she became an All-American in cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track.[3]

Murphy captured her first USA Track & Field national title at the 2019 USATF Mountain Running Championships. She repeated her title in 2021 and 2023, while also adding another victory in the Vertical Mountain Running division in 2023.[4][5]

Internationally, Murphy won the 2019 World Mountain Running Championships in her debut at the event.[6] She is also the XTERRA trail run world champion.[7][8]
