Breaking a school record held by a two-time NAIA national champion in the event, Moses unleashed a 192 feet, 7 inch (58.70m) toss in the discus to win the discipline in stadium and meet-record fashion at the Pacific Twilight. Moses added exactly two feet to the CU school record previously held by Nik Kay (NAIA discus champion 2008 & 2009) and crushed the stadium and meet records by more than 20 feet. Moses now holds an 18-foot lead over the next NAIA athlete on the performance list.

In addition to his discus duties, Moses set a season best in the shot put with a 53 feet, 7 inch (16.33m) throw which ranks No. 10 on the NAIA performance list and nearly earned his third NAIA qualifier of the season with a 167 feet, 3 inch (50.97m) toss in the hammer, his first attempt at the event this season. Only 18 US discus throwers have thrown farther in 2012 according to USATF.
