BRITTNEY MOORE
OF COLORADO COLLEGE has been selected the SCAC
Character & Community Female Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for
the week ending April 18, 2010.
Moore, a senior from Fort Gordon, Ga., is a
two-sport athlete for the Tigers, competing as both a member
of the women's diving and women's track and
field teams.
A Psychology Major, Moore has had a standout
career for Colorado College. She currently is the school's record
holder in the 400 meters, and finished second in the triple jump,
third in the 400 meters and fourth in the 200 meters at the 2009
SCAC Track & Field Championships.
The senior is equally, if not more, impressive outside the
athletics arena. Moore recently earned a two-year
post-graduate fellowship with the El Pomar Foundation in Colorado
Springs - one of the most sought after and competitive fellowships
in the state and the country - and completed an internship with the
United States Olympic Committee's International Games Division,
which included working at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
Immediately following the Olympic Games,
Moore spent 11 days in La Oroya, Peru, on an
international student service trip to complete a community service
project with local youth regarding environmental issues,
contamination problems and human rights violations.
Moore has served the campus community in many ways
as well. She attended the NCAA National Student-Athlete Leadership
Development Conference during the summer of 2008 and has served as
a New Student Orientation Trip Leader in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
She has also been involved with the CC Annual Spring Service
Celebration as both a leader (Spring 2009) and a logistics
coordinator (Spring 2008).
Recently, Moore served as a summer services intern with the Center
for Service and Learning where she assisted in the coordination of
41 new student orientation trips to non-profit organizations
in the Southwest region of the United States.
