This is the third of eight clips on Clayton Murphy, in our new series, Socialing the Distance. In this one, the 2016 Olympic bronze medalist told us that he was moving back to Ohio, with fiance, Ariana Washington.
A big move, from Portland, Oregon, to Akron, Ohio.
Special thanks to Clayton Murphy and hoping he is getting those boxes unpacked.

Special, special thanks to Mike Deering, who produces the series and keeps me focused, which is a difficult thing to do.
Clayton Murphy is a fascinating athlete. He enjoys what he does, and he is also having a life outside of athletics, which will keep him grounded and sane.
