Bowie, who was born in Sand Hill, Mississippi, represented the United States in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, earning a silver medal in the 100 meters and a bronze in the 200 meters. She was also on the 4x100-meter relay team that beat out Jamaica for gold.
In addition to her Olympic success, Bowie became the world champion in the 100-meter dash in 2017. She edged the Ivory Coast's Marie-Josée Ta Lou in the final by 0.01 seconds with a time of 10.85 seconds.
She captured another gold at the 2017 World Championships as a member of the U.S. 4x100-meter relay team.
