MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho Track & Field program is excited to announce the signing of Karina Moreland, a talented jumper from Tualatin High School in Oregon.
Moreland has multiple times been an all-state performer. She placed third in the triple jump at the Oregon State High School Championships as a junior and she also finished seventh in the long jump. During her sophomore year Moreland finished fifth at the Oregon State meet.
Moreland has a personal best of 38' 3 1/2” in the triple jump, a mark that would be ranked fourth in the Big Sky Conference at this time. Karina also has a personal best of 17' 8 1/2” in the long jump. She is currently ranked second in the state of Oregon in the triple jump heading into the conclusion of her high school career.
“Karina is going to be a great addition to the Vandal family. She is a solid jumper with good speed, she also does well in the classroom as a great student. We are truly excited that she is going to call Moscow home next year.” -Tim Cawley, Director of Track & Field/Cross Country.
Moreland intends to major in family and consumer sciences at Idaho.
