Moore’s 2023 Resume
Moore’s historic 2023 campaign began in the indoor season. In conference competition, Moore earned All-SEC honors in both the long and triple jump. At the SEC Indoor Championships, she placed first in both the long jump (6.91m/22’8″) and triple jump (14.57m/47’9.75″). These marks earned her the fifth and sixth consecutive horizontal jump golds at the SEC Championships as a Gator. She was ultimately named 2023 SEC Indoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year.

Her success continued in the NCAA Indoor Championships, winning gold in the long jump (7.03m/23’0.75″) and triple jump (15.12m/49’7.25″). These jumps in particular were groundbreaking as Moore became the first woman ever to clear both 7m in the long jump and 15m in the triple jump in the same meet. Moore’s triple jump mark set a new American and both of her jumps set collegiate records. The Grand Prairie, Texas native was named USTFCCCA Indoor Women’s Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year and became only the fourth field athlete to win the award in back to back seasons.

Moore continued her dominance in the outdoor season as she was one again earned All-SEC honors after placing first in the long and triple jump for the second time in 2023. Moore recorded a long jump mark of 6.88m (22’7″) and a triple jump of 14.14m (46’4.75″). For the second consecutive year, Moore swept the indoor and outdoor SEC titles in the horizontal jumps. She won 2023 SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Athlete of the Year.

At the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas, Moore finished first in the triple jump (14.78m/48’6″) and bronze in the long jump (6.66m/21’10.25″). Her leap in the triple jump set a collegiate record and was marked as the second farthest jump in the world in 2023. Moore had now earned medals at every SEC and NCAA horizontal jump competition as a Gator and had won gold in every triple jump competition during the postseason. She had won seven of eight horizontal titles at SEC and NCAA meets during 2023 and fifteen of sixteen for her career.
