Moore improved her 100-hurdles best with a 14.14 clocking at altitude at the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic to take 3rd for Team Missouri, while she won the triple jump with a 12.80m/42-0'' mark at 5,100-feet. At AAU Junior Olympic Games, she's the #2 triple jump seed with a 40-9.5'' seed mark.
Blues Track Club member Triniti Douglas has had a big break thru in the 100-hurdles this summer. The Ft. Zumwalt South junior ran 14.94 at the Region 15 meet to place 5th and earn the 15th seed for the JO Games. Club teammate Alexis Taylor is the 16th seed. She ran 14.95 at the Region meet, taking 6th. The Cardinal Ritter junior helped the Lions claim the Class 5 state team title for a second straight year. Taylor placed 4th in the 100 at state and was on the overall state meet record 4x100 squad. She also placed 10th in the 300-hurdles in 47.45. Taylor followed state with a 2nd-place finish in the 300-hurdles in 44.86 at the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic
Cardinal Ritter sophomore and Blues Track Club star Aniyah Brown is the top seed in the 200-meter dash in the 15-16-year-old division. Brown has swept the Class 5 100 and 200-meter titles her first two years of high school to help lead Cardinal Ritter to back-to-back state team titles. Brown's 23.37-second 200-meter dash at the state meet was wind-aided and kept her from officially being the 3rd-fastest Missouri High Schooler ever. It was the same in the 100-meter dash at state, a 3.2 meters-per-second tailwind giving her the 3rd fastest time ever recorded for the event, but too much wind for the official record book.
Brown took 2nd in both events for Team Missouri at the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic. Last month, Brown won both events in Orlando at the AAU Club Nationals. She matched her state 23.37 clocking in Florida, but this time with a legal wind-reading, officially moving her past Alicia Burnett on the state all-time 200-meter list, behind only Zaya Akins and Anglerne Annelus.
