At the 1952 Summer Olympics, Moore won the gold medal in the 400-meter
hurdle with a time of 50.8 seconds, narrowly missing the world record. In 1996,
he was selected as one of "100 Golden Olympians" and was inducted into the
United States National Track and Field Hall of Fame. As an undergraduate at
Cornell University, Moore won the NCAA titles in the 440-yard flat race in
1949 and the 220-yard hurdles in 1951. Between those years, he also won four
straight AAU titles in the 400-meter hurdles. A former board member of the
President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, Moore is currently governor
of the National Art Museum of Sport as well as a national board alumni member
of the Smithsonian Institution.
