2019-20: In a season shortened due to a pandemic, the United State Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Indoor Field Athlete (USTFCCCA) announced Indoor All-Americans Tuesday with Devon Moore posting honors in the 60 and 200. The organization awarded all student-athletes on the startlist for individual events All-American status with no distinction for first team or second team laurels. Combining indoor and outdoor tallies, Carson-Newman's track program has produced 26 All-Americans, 13 from indoor, since the 2015 season. Moore passes 2018 National Champion Tanner Stepp, three, for the most indoor career All-American plaudits bringing his career tally to four with first-team honors in the 60 in 2018 and 2019. The Baxley, Ga. native ties Stepp for the most All-Americans combining indoor and outdoor season bringing his career tally to six as the junior will have chance in 2021 to establish the program's new benchmark. In 2019-20, he entered the postseason field with the fourth-fastest time in the country in the 60 using his 6.69, his career best, at the Finn Pincus Invitational on Jan. 24, 2020. Looking at the 200, he entered the championships with the 10th best time in the country posting a spring-best of 21:24 at the VMI Indoor Classic on Feb. 14, 2020. He took home South Atlantic Conference titles in both events in 2020. Moore was named the SAC's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year in 2020 after earning the outdoor honor in 2019. The junior was named the SAC Indoor Track Athlete of the Week three times this season tallying the program's first Indoor USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week on Jan. 14. He earned the same honor during outdoor season in 2019. The Baxley, Ga. native registered a mark of 6.71 seconds in the 60, the second-fastest time in the sprint among all Division II athletes at the time. It came during Moore's first event after rejoining the team after the conclusion of the football season in the ETSU Invitational. Moore won two SAC titles in the indoor season besting Lenoir-Rhyne's PJ Lotharp in the 60 by with a 6.76 time. He shaved over a half second off of his preliminary run in the 200 meters to topple Tusculum's Widchard Guervil with a time of 21.73.
2018-19: Moore became the third Eagle to earn an Athlete of the Year honor from the SAC in track and field and the first since the selection of the winner moved to a vote from the league's head coaches instead of the top overall point winner at the SAC Championship Meet. Randall Freeman (Outdoor Field Athlete 2014) and Kris Potts-Howard (Indoor Field Athlete 2018) both earned their recognition under the previous format. Moore was a two-time bronze medalist and two-time All-American following his performance at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet in Kingsville, Texas. He finished third in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes at the event. His 10.27 in the qualifying round of the 100 registered as the second fastest time of his career and the third fastest time in league history. He set a new Carson-Newman record time for the 100-meter dash when he posted a 10.12 at the Tennessee Relays. The time also put Moore in the NCAA record books, as the 12th-fastest 100 all-time. He was a USTFCCCA All-Region pick and was named All-SAC in both events as well. He was a three-time SAC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week honoree and was also selected as the USTFCCCA National Track Athlete of the Week on April 17 following his efforts at the Tennessee Relays.
2017-18: Moore was a freshman standout for C-N last season after collecting the Freshman of the Year award from the South Atlantic Conference during the indoor season following national qualifying times in the 60m and 200m dash (second-place in both events). Second-team All-America in the 60m dash... All-Region selection following indoor campaign in both 60m and 200m. School record holder in 200m dash at 21.43 seconds... Collected first collegiate win at the Finn Pincus Invitational in the 60m dash...
