WORCESTER, Mass.— Senior Christa Jay Moore of the women's track and field team has been named the Crusader of the Week, for competition from April 12-18. Moore smashed her own previous school record in the pole vault, jumping 4.08m last week.
In a dual meet against Rhode Island on Wednesday, April 14, Moore jumped 4.08m in the pole vault, besting her previous school record of 3.97m. Moore now sits at 23rd on the NCAA East Regional Qualifying List, with the top-48 student-athletes qualifying for the NCAA East Preliminary round.
