Aidan Murphy | Australian Athletics
Aidan Murphy is a leading Australian sprinter from Adelaide. He competes in the 100m, 200m and 400m.
www.athletics.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
-
Aidan Murphy posted a near-Australian record performance in the 400m at the Oceania Athletics Championships in Darwin, clocking 44.44 seconds and moving to within a small margin of the national record. This places him among the fastest Australians ever in the event and marks a significant personal-best improvement for 2026.[1][2]
-
The event confirmed Murphy as the Oceania champion in the 400m, with Thomas Reynolds and Luke van Ratingen also posting strong 400m times, contributing to Australia’s podium sweep. Further coverage highlighted how close Murphy was to Darren Clark’s 38-year-old Australian record and described his season as exceptionally productive so far in 2026.[2][6][1]
-
Murphy’s official athletics profile notes his focus on the 400m (alongside 100m and 200m) and corroborates his rising form across events, including a notable relay performance that complemented his individual results.[4][5]
If you’d like, I can compile a quick table of Murphy’s recent 400m results (with dates and times) from the cited sources and add a short interpretation of what these times imply for his national-record prospects. I can also look for any updates since Darwin if you want the very latest.
