One of the most decorated athletes in Utah State history, Corey Murdock was a four-time track All-American and is one of just two athletes in school history to accomplish that feat.

Murdock also earned All-American honors in the 400m hurdles at the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Buffalo, N.Y., as he finished fourth nationally. His first All-American honor was during his sophomore year in the 400m hurdles at the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Bloomington, Ind. Murdock was also a three-time Big West Conference Outdoor Champion in the 400m hurdles during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, a two-time Big West Conference Outdoor Champion in the 110m hurdles as a junior and senior, and a two-time Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Indoor Champion in the 400m during his junior and senior seasons. During his senior season in 1999, Murdock was also named the Big West Conference Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and set still standing school records in the indoor 400m (46.51) and 400m hurdles (48.85), while also anchoring the school record time of 3:09.64 in the 4x400m relay team. Following his freshman season in 1994, Murdock won the USA Jr. National Championship and represented the United States at the World Jr. Championships in Lisbon, Portugal, where he placed 12th in the 400m hurdles. Following his runner-up finish at the 1999 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Murdock again represented the United States, this time at the World University Games in Palma de Mallorca, Spain as he advanced through three rounds to place fourth in the 400m hurdles with his personal best time of 48.85.
