	Athletes - Kenny Moore

Kenneth C. Moore (b. December 1, 1943 in Eugene, Oregon) is an American athlete and journalist. At the University of Oregon, Moore was one of Bill Bowerman's finest distance runners. After college, Moore ran in the Olympic marathon at both Mexico City and Munich. He failed to medal, however, finishing fourth in 1972.

After his track career, Moore became a journalist and screenwriter. He had a twenty-five year career covering athletics for Sports Illustrated. At the end of his career at Sports Illustrated, Moore took up the plight of former competitor Mamo Wolde, who was falsely imprisoned in Ethiopia. In his story, Moore championed Wolde's release from prison, a release that came months before Wolde's death.

Moore was also one of the athletes who pushed for the Amateur Sports Act of 1978. He also wrote the screenplay for the 1998 biopic Without Limits, a film about former Oregon Ducks standout Steve Prefontaine.

Currently, Kenny Moore lives in Eugene where he is working on a biography of his college coach Bill Bowerman.
