At 6-foot-2,250 pounds, you might ?u
think USC track and field captain Brett ^

throw his weight
around. However, jn

said.
That work ethic garnered Murray (
All-America honors in the 35- pound j^g S1
weight and enabled him to set the school ray s
record (194-11) in the discus last year. coacj,
Murray, who graduated with a de- ampj
gree in criminal justice in May, has had
to fill the shoes of national record hold- the S
er Ron Willis. Willis' team-best throw
of 72-11/4 is an all-time collegiate mark. gean
