Mary Moore
- Induction:
- 2015
- Class:
- 1986
Mary Moore was a shy girl who enjoyed competing in track and field because she could high jump in relative obscurity. That was until she set a national age record by clearing 5-feet, 8 inches at age 13, and then broke the national prep record before her junior year at Issaquah High School, by high jumping 6-2 at the 1981 Eugene Track City Classic. Her 6-2 bar still stands as the prep record for the state of Washington. As Moore’s obscurity turned to notoriety, her love for track and field continued to bring her success. At the NorPac Outdoor Championships, she won the high jump title in 1985 after finishing as the runner-up the year before. Moore was a three-time All-American and two-time NCAA Indoor high jump champion winning titles in 1984 as a freshman, and in 1985 as a sophomore. She finished fifth at the 1984 USA Olympic Trials after clearing 6-1 1/4. At the time of her induction, Moore continued to hold the WSU school high jump record of 6-3 (1.90m), set at the 1985 indoor national meet.
