Dawn Sowell (27 March 1966, Philadelphia) is an American sprinter who ran the fastest times in the 100 m and 200 m in 1989.
Sowell attended Louisiana State University and she was tipped to be the next Florence Griffith-Joyner, but a hamstring injury in an event in New York in 1989 ended her career.
Famous quotes containing the word dawn:
“A barnacle goose
Far up in the stretches of night; night splits and the dawn breaks loose;
I, through the terrible novelty of light, stalk on, stalk on;
Those great sea-horses bare their teeth and laugh at the dawn.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
