Rachel Moore will enter her fourth year as Assistant Athletic Director/Director of Athletics Communications at Central Methodist University in 2023-24.
Her time at CMU has been spent covering the usual duties expected of a Sports Information Director. But as an Assistant Athletic Director, Moore has increased her mentoring activity, having hired and trained two graduate assistants, multiple student workers and provided lectures in the classroom to sports oriented classes.
In addition, Moore also serves on the Hairston Hall of Fame Committe and the Event Director of the Nestys Student-Athlete Awards Show and Banquet.
During her first three years with the Eagles, Moore has helped elevate the department in numerous areas including social media, website streaming, and the Central Athletics Mobile App. In 2021-22, the app reached as high as No. 6 in the country for fan engagement, which includes all divisions of college athletics.
For her efforts in 2021-22, Moore was selected by her peers as the 2022 Heart of America Athletic Conference Sports Information Director of the Year. In 2021-22 alone, Moore covered seven conference championship teams, 18 national tournament appearances, including three NAIA National semifinalists, and 25 NAIA All-Americans.
Before her time at CMU, the Excelsior Springs, Missouri native spent the 2019-20 season at NCAA Division I Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas. While with the Islanders, she served as the primary media contact for the women's soccer, women's golf, women's basketball, softball, and beach volleyball programs.
Prior to joining the Islanders, Moore spent two years as a graduate assistant in the Sports Information Department at fellow Heart institution Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan., serving as the department's first-ever SID GA under fellow Heart SIDs Tyler Price and Kyle Pattrick.
During her time with Baker, Moore served as the on-site media representative for wrestling, dance, softball, and men's soccer at their respective NAIA National Championships. She covered the softball team's first-ever national tournament appearance in Bowling Green, Ky., as well as the wrestling program's third and fourth national champion and numerous NAIA All-Americans.
Moore obtained her undergraduate degree in Sports Administration from Baker in 2017 and her M.S. in Sports Management in 2019.
