Murray is an elite athlete who has competed and achieved at the highest level in Sprint Kayaking, Surf Lifesaving and Ocean Racing.  Although his passion is usually evenly split between the three disciplines, at present Murray is primarily focusing on Sprint Kayaking as he embarks on a journey towards the London 2012 Olympics.

As a multiple Australian Champion and National Team representative in Sprint Kayaking, and with a silver medal 2011 Sprint Kayaking World Championships last year, Murray is striving towards Olympic glory. The 2011 World Championships marked the first step towards Olympic qualification, with Australia battling the rest of the world for illusive positions at the 2012 London Olympics. This result qualified four positions for Australia at the Olympics and was also Australia’s best ever result in the men’s K4 1000m at a World Championship level.

With the World Championships marking the end of what has been a successful 2011 international and domestic season for Murray, he is now focusing his efforts on preparing for the Olympic trials in March 2012. Murray recently completed a Masters of Architecture at the University of Sydney, where he held the Vice Chancellor’s scholarship for academic and sporting success.
