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:
“Beloved, may your sleep be sound
That have found it where you fed.
What were all the world’s alarms
To mighty Paris when he found
Sleep upon a golden bed
That first dawn in Helen’s arms?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
