In what looks like his first-ever collegiate triple jump competition, Cartrell Moore from Glassboro moved into the all-time Rider top-10.
Moore, a sophomore, jumped a lifetime-best 47-10 ½ on his 6th and final jump at the NYC Gotham Cup at Ocean Breeze Friday.
Moore jumped 46-6 ½ indoors and 46-10 outdoors in high school. According to his TFRRS profile, he only competed in two meets for Rider as a freshman, both indoors at the Ott Center, and only ran one 60, one 300 and one 4-by-4 leg. It appears Friday was his first meet in over a year, since Penn Select on Jan. 11, 2025.
So it would have been his first triple jump since he placed 3rd in the 2024 outdoor Meet of Champions at Pennsauken with that 46-10 on his final attempt.
Moore’s jump is No. 10 in Rider history indoors but only four inches out of the No. 7 spot. School record indoors is 49-6 ¾ set by Penns Grove’s Steven Brown at Lehigh in 2012.
