Ryan Murphy is widely regarded as one of the greatest backstrokers in the history of the sport. Ryan developed his elite foundation at the storied Bolles School before heading West to compete for the University of California, Berkeley. Ryan swept the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke individual titles at the NCAA Championships for four consecutive years, cementing his legacy as an NCAA legend.

He burst onto the Olympic scene at the 2016 Rio Games, where he swept the backstroke events and broke the World Record in the 100-meter backstroke.
