Moreno began 2009 with an improvement to 69.80 m in March at the Grand Prix Sudamericano in Santa Fe, Argentina, making her the second best South American hammer thrower after Dahlgren. She won her second continental title at the 2009 South American Championships in Athletics with a throw of 65.79 m, and then took the bronze at the 2009 CAC Championships behind Cuban Arasay Thondike and improving Venezuelan Rosa Rodríguez. She attended her second global event – the 2009 World Championships in Athletics – but her throw of 65.05 m was again not enough to make the final.
