After a second-to-last place finish in the 800 meter portion of the women’s heptathlon, incoming Oregon freshman Ashlee brown was content. Relaxed for the first time in two days, and seven events, at the IAAF World Junior Championships, Moore reflected on her experience — a 13th place finish and a personal best score of 5466 points in the entire heptathlon  — at Hayward Field.

“I’m just excited,” Moore said after the conclusion of the 800 meters. “I finally came out and did what I know what I can do and I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Moore entered the 800 meter ranked seventh in the 24-athlete field. Due to a commitment to basketball, as well as track in high school, Moore didn’t have a chance to prepare as much as she may have wanted to.

“I did basketball and track all four years,” Moore said. “Basketball takes up my whole preseason so I don’t get a lot of training. After basketball — which ends in March — that’s when track starts. So, I kind of just went from the court straight to the track.”

Since basketball is no longer in the picture, Moore can devote her time to preparing for track. With that extra time, Moore thinks she can surprise people when the college track and field season begins next year.

“I’m happy that the season is over, but I’m excited to come back and start training year round and see what I’m able to do,” Moore said.

“I’m going to come back next year and surprise some people.”
