She hasn't been around since indoors. Didn't race at nationals. Is she injuried? No outdoor results so far this weekend. Didn't race at Penn relays

Ran in the 4x800
Googling brings up some mention of injury over the winter.
Yes, she ran in the prelims and then the finals of the 4x800, as the third leg both times. Not swift results, by her standards. Hopefully she's just working back into form after an injury.
Prelims on Thursday (3rd place):
3 Lake Braddock (Burke, VA) 9:12.35 Shannon Browning (2:17.39), Madison Tippet (2:23.73), Kate Murphy (2:19.02), Samantha Scwers (2:12.22)
Finals on Friday (7th place):
7 Lake Braddock (Burke, VA) 9:10.75 Shannon Browning (2:17.31), Samantha Scwers (2:13.18), Kate Murphy (2:16.87), Madison Tippet (2:23.40)
did anyone see her run?
usually penn just prints the entries and lists those names. i would imagine that her coach entered her on the roster way back when but it might not change to reflect an alternate.
I could be totally wrong and it was her but just a thought

The video of the final is archived on USATF.TV (which I can view, at least). The way these races are reported, only the top teams seem to get mentioned/get real camera time, but just before the second handoff the camera showed the line of girls waiting for the batons. There stood Kate Murphy. Definitely her. After that, there were only fleeting glimpses of her far in the background as the camera focused on the leader. I don't think Kate was mentioned even once.

I saw her run in person, she was definitely the third leg of that 4x8 final. She made up some ground but didn't run anything incredible -- perhaps just a way to ease back into shape / racing mentality following an injury.
Ask Clayton.
Looked smooth on track, but prob just not up to speed work and getting back into form. not at indoor nationals, so something def up. She mentioned leg issues in interview after national record DMR, so hopefully recovering from that. Really missed seeing her in Mile/3k or DMR.
