After 10 months in Colorado Springs attending the US Air Force Academy Preparatory School, Moore graduated on May 19 and recently accepted an appointment to join the US Air Force Academy as a member of the Class of 2029.
“We lost an exemplary teammate this weekend – Cadet Candidate Ava Moore, whose passion for leadership and service left an impact on everyone she met. Ava’s constant happiness and attitude helped her squadron get through the challenges of the Prep School, and her drive to excel was on display as she sought out leadership positions to improve herself and her team,” said Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, U.S. Air Force Academy superintendent. “Our team is focused on providing support to Ava’s family, her Prep School Squadron, the Prep School Women’s Basketball team, and the entire Academy family.”
Moore was an accomplished basketball player, beloved by her teammates and coaches, who are now left heartbroken and in disbelief.
