HAMPTON, Virginia -- Hampton's women's track and field program has added two local stars. Bethel High's Maya Moore, the 2012 Virginia Group AAA indoor champion in the 500 meters, and Landstown's Tanisha Greene, the 2012 Group AAA indoor champion in the 300, have signed national letters of intent with the Lady Pirates. Moore is also the 2012 1,600-meter relay state runner-up and the 2011 state champion in the event. She is also the 2012 Peninsula District champion in the 500 meters and the 1,600 relay.
Moore is the second state champion HU has signed from Bethel, joining three-time NCAA champion and 2012 Olympic hopeful Francena McCorory.
Greene also won a state title in the 300 meters in 2011.
"Both of these athletes will make an immediate impact on my team and will play a big part in us continuing to win MEAC championships and qualify athletes for the NCAA championships," HU coach Maurice Pierce said in a release.
