By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan Murphy<\/strong> was behind. It was unusual, unnerving even, to see the world\u2019s most dominant backstroker trailing. His freshman year, he had won the 100 back NCAA title by a hand\u2019s length over Penn State\u2019s Shane<\/strong> Ryan<\/strong>, but nobody had come close since.<\/p>\n

But at this year\u2019s championships, the 100 back was a little too close for comfort. John<\/strong> Shebat<\/strong> and Luke Kaliszak<\/strong> were within two tenths at the halfway point. Murphy still pulled ahead and got in under 44 seconds\u2014something only he had ever accomplished\u2014but it was not the same, dominant Murphy fans had become accustomed to.<\/p>\n

And then in the 200 back, Murphy was actually behind, trailing Shebat by as much as four tenths at the halfway point and then with 50 yards to go. He dug deep and pulled out the win, finishing in 1:36.75, but vintage Murphy it was not.<\/p>\n

But none of that mattered. Murphy had put his name in the history books\u2014only the fourth man to ever win the 100 and 200-yard events of one stroke all four years in college. Only John Naber<\/strong> had ever done so before in backstroke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just a testament to my coaching throughout my whole life. I came to college pretty good, and I improved a lot in college. And that\u2019s something I\u2019m really proud of,\u201d he said \u201cI\u2019m never someone who\u2019s been complacent, and I think that showed up over the past four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure, he had wanted more and expected more from his final NCAA meet. But for Murphy, unlike almost every other senior that competed this week in Indianapolis, the end of his college career does not mean the end of his career.<\/p>\n

Murphy has already won three Olympic gold medals, and even as he wrapped up one huge chapter in his swimming career, such a landmark moment, his coaches helped remind him of the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously you want to go a best time every time you swim,\u201d Murphy said after his 100 back. \u201c[Cal head coach] Dave<\/strong> [Durden<\/strong>] was like, \u2018The quadrennial is a marathon, not a sprint.\u2019 And then [assistant coach] Yuri<\/strong> [Suguiyama<\/strong>] said, \u2018You\u2019ve almost become a victim of your own success.\u2019 43.9 is not a bad time, but since I\u2019ve gone 43.4, it sounds like a bad time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re both right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy believes that the stresses and distractions of the post-Olympic year contributed to not having the final NCAA meet that he wanted, but in the grand scheme of things, the slower-than-expected times did not bother him all that much.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was worried about individual success, I would have gone pro after last summer,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of a meet like NCAAs where you\u2019re swimming a bunch of times, but you\u2019re doing it for your team. You\u2019re not doing it for yourself or anyone else. That\u2019s the beauty of college swimming. That\u2019s something that got me back in the water after the Olympics quicker than I would have if I had gone pro, just being there with the guys, being motivated for a week like this.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Murphy thought back through his fond memories over his four years of Cal and how he grew up during his time as a Golden Bear, both in the water and out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when I was a freshman I was just afraid of the seniors and did exactly what they told me to,\u201d he said \u201cSophomore year you\u2019re starting to figure it out, junior year you have a pretty good idea, and senior year you\u2019re the person imparting wisdom on the young guys. That\u2019s pretty cool to go on that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

After winning the 200 back one final time, Murphy watched as Hunter<\/strong> Cobleigh<\/strong>, one of his best friends and roommates, swam in the 200 breast consolation final for the last race of his career.<\/p>\n

For Cobleigh, this meet was no stepping stone to a professional career\u2014that was his last race, and afterwards he was mobbed by his teammates and coaches on deck.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cool to see guys grow up in college. You look at a guy like Hunter, and he\u2019s just improved so much in the pool and in the classroom. I think it\u2019s really cool to see how all these guys move through our program. They become smarter. They become better swimmers. They become better people,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

Murphy raved about the Cal program preparing swimmers to take the next step in their lives, but his next steps will take him right back to Berkeley and back into the pool for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Up next on his calendar is meetings with potential agents then back to training, where he will have fellow 200 back Olympic finalist Jacob Pebley<\/strong> waiting for him Tuesday. Murphy is confident that he will be able to fix what ailed him this week in Indy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m far off,\u201d he said. \u201cLooking at my races, looking at my tempos, I\u2019m in long-course mode. I never really switched back to short-course mode. I couldn\u2019t get my tempo to where I wanted it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And even with such a short break, motivation will not be an issue, not after the way Murphy swam at his final collegiate meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it just makes me mad,\u201d he said. \u201cI get mad, I get motivated, and then I improve. Coming off this, I have a lot of motivation to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a motivated Murphy is a dangerous one for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
