Murphy Assembly – Article

Rafferty Reuter ’33, Jack O’Hara ’30 | September 25, 2025

Rohan Murphy, a wrestler, power lifter and youth speaker, visited us on Thursday, September 25. He can bench 350 lbs and can do 35 pull-ups! Rohan Murphy is just like anyone else, except for one detail: he has no legs. Rohan was born with a leg disability so he had to get his legs amputated. He was ashamed of his disability at first but one person changed this, his gym coach. His coach gave him a spot as a manager for the soccer team. The same thing happened the next year but on the wrestling team, then he became a part of the team. Rohan Murphy said, “You only have one life, you should make the most out of it.”
