Dakorien Moore wows Hayward Field crowd with performance in long jump
In his first appearance for the Ducks in a tracksuit, Dakorien Moore showed off his hops in the long jump at the Oregon Team Invitational.
A return to the track for Oregon Ducks wide receiver Dakorien Moore brought plenty of fanfare to Hayward Field. Moore participated in the long jump, representing the Ducks in the Oregon Team Invitational on Friday, and he didn’t disappoint. The speedy wideout showed off his athleticism and gave Ducks fans something to look forward to both on the football field and later this spring in the long jump.
With plenty of his teammates from the gridiron in the stands to support him, Moore’s cheering section was boisterous. Moore built himself up and led his group after his first two jumps since participating as a junior at Duncanville High School. His first two jumps went for 6.
94 meters and 6. 99 meters, but he was still just short of where he needed to be to qualify for the final. Needing to jump at least 7.
02 meters, Moore qualified with a jump of 7. 48 meters (24 feet 6. 5 inches) in his final attempt of the qualifying round, just one centimeter shy of his personal best.
