For the second consecutive season, Florida’s track and field athlete [autotag]Jasmine Moore[/autotag] earned the Indoor National Women’s Field Athlete of the Year award presented by the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, the organization announced on Monday. The honor puts her in rare company, making her the fourth field athlete to ever win back-to-back awards.
Moore’s standout event is the horizontal jump, in which she became the first woman to ever clear the 15-meter mark in the triple jump as well as the 7-meter mark in the long jump indoors — also making her only the fourth woman ever in indoor or outdoor horizontal jumps to clear these marks.
The senior out of Grand Prairie, Texas, originally competed for Florida’s fierce rivals, the Georgia Bulldogs, before transferring to Gainesville following the 2020-21 season. She has won every SEC and NCAA horizontal jump competition she has participated in as a Gator, giving her six conference crowns and the same number of national titles.
Moore set the American and collegiate record in the triple jump and the collegiate record in the long jump at this year’s NCAA Indoors on her way to her fifth and sixth national title wearing the Orange and Blue. Her final collegiate campaign continues on March 23 and 24 in Tallahassee when Florida kicks off its outdoor campaign at the FSU Relays.
