Moore led the women's cross country team to their second straight Region III crown and the program's sixth all-time. The blue & gold went on to finish 3rd at the NJCAA National Championships. Three members of his women's team, Kim Lupo, Claire Holleran, and Katy Monahan, raced to All-Region honors.
Moore and the Lady Pioneers were ranked in the top five all season and were ranked as high as #2. This is the second year in a row that Moore has been named coach of the year.
