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:
“We are independent of the change we detect. The longer the lever, the less perceptible its motion. It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero then will know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely; we shall sooner overtake the dawn by remaining here than by hurrying over the hills of the west.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
