A three-year starter for the basketball team, she was twice named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association All-State team, nominated for the McDonald’s All-American team, named MVP of the Chattanooga Times Free Press Best of Preps, and named to the state tournament’s All-Tournament team as a sophomore, junior, and senior.
            
In track, Moss was a leader of three consecutive state championship teams, earning 13 state medals over four years in seven events and including a state championship in the 4x800 relay in her senior year.

At her graduation from GPS, Moss was named the recipient of the Headmaster’s Award for Elite Accomplishment in Athletics.
            
She received a basketball scholarship from the University of Kentucky, where she played for four years under Coach Matthew Mitchell and often appeared on the coach’s post-game television shows.

Moss is currently a therapist for substance abuse and eating disorders at a local residential facility.

During the Alumnae Weekend luncheon at which she was honored, Interim Athletic Director Jeff Gaither reflected on his experiences coaching her on the track team, saying, "Carly is not only a winner; she refuses to lose."
