Her passion for the sport waned in the three years that followed and she ceased competition altogether in 2007 after a poor showing at the national championships. She had stopped enjoying the sport and often found it stressful. Discussions with Paralympic champion April Holmes and a chance meeting with Al Joyner led to Moore restarting her career in 2009. She worked under the coaching of Joyner and made her comeback at the 2010 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships by taking her first national title in the 200 m. Her winning time of 22.40 seconds ranked her as the fourth fastest athlete that season and the second best American after Allyson Felix. She went on to represent the Americas team at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup and she came in fourth place in the 200 m behind Cydonie Mothersille.
