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:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
