MARK D. MURRAY
Men’s Basketball (1988-92)
Men’s Outdoor Track & Field (1988-92)
Mark Murray led the resurgence of University of Delaware basketball under Hall of Fame coach Steve Steinwedel, leading the Blue Hens to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1992 while putting up big numbers as an all-around player in 1988-92.
A native of Asbury Park, N.J. and a 1992 Delaware graduate, Mark was a four-year starting swingman who led the team in scoring twice and was the No. 2 scorer on the 1991-92 squad that went 27-4, shattering the school record for wins in a season, went unbeaten in North Atlantic Conference play at 14-0, and became UD’s first NCAA Tournament qualifying squad.
He was the first player in school history to record over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 250 assists in a career and graduated as Delaware’s No. 2 all-time scorer with 1,559 points. He earned first team All-NAC honors twice and was a NAC All-Rookie selection. He was selected to the Colonial Athletic Association’s Men’s Basketball Legends Team in 2009.
Also a standout sprinter in track & field, Mark won two conference 100 meter titles, was part of three conference 400 meters relay champion teams, and set school records in the 400 meter relay (41.23) and 800 meter relay (1:27.44) events. His career-best time of 10.4 in the 100 meter dash ranks No. 2 all-time at Delaware.
A high school educator, he served as a head coach for both boys and girls basketball, and coached track & field at Hammond (Md.) High School.
