Moore grew up in the Dallas-Forth Worth area and, as a kid, took up gymnastics and competitive cheerleading. She gave that up to pursue a life in track and field. 

She first started with the triple jump and then took up long jumping because it was similar. 

"For me, the goal was always ‘free college,' getting a scholarship," she said.

Georgia offered a scholarship, and she took it. Then, after two years, she transferred to Florida. 

Moore parlayed that scholarship into becoming a seven-time NCAA champion.

She went to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and finished 12th in the qualifying round of the triple jump. 

This time around, Moore will be competing in the long jump too. While she is making history by being the first athlete to compete in the triple jump and long jump, she makes it seem like it's no big deal.
