The 6-foot-5, 250-pound senior won the shot put and took second in the discus throw Class A at the Minnesota State High School League Championships this past season. Moore’s title-winning shot put effort of 62 feet, 3.5 inches ranked No. 25 nationally among prep competitors this spring. Named the inaugural Mr. Minnesota Track & Field, Moore launched the discus 194-1.5 at the Section 6A Track & Field Finals, which broke his own school and section record, and was the state’s best in 2018. That discus throw also ranked No. 13 nationally at the time of his selection.
Moore has maintained a 3.55 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to compete on scholarship in football and track and field at North Dakota State University this fall.
A home-schooled student who was also a standout nine-man football player at Verndale Secondary School, Moore has volunteered locally as a junior counselor at his church’s summer youth camp. He has also donated his time as a youth throwing coach.
