Week 6 Athlete of the Week: Alyse Moore

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week six of the spring sports season, sponsored by Louisburg Family Dental.

Alyse Moore, Senior, Track and Field

Louisburg senior Alyse Moore rewrote the Wildcat track record books Friday at the De Soto Invitational. Moore broke the school record in the javelin with a throw of 149 feet to take first place overall. She broke Krystal Bowes’ 20-year-old school record of 145-10 that was set in 2001.

Along with that, Moore’s throw of 149-0 was good for the second best throw in the state. It is also the fourth best throw in the entire country. She has also won every javelin competition this year, with the exception of one, and will look to break that record again as the year goes on as she competes for a state title.

The athlete of the week award is announced every Wednesday morning during the spring season and the winner is selected by Louisburg Sports Zone with the help of nominations from coaches.
