World champion speed skater Brittany Bowe (Summerfield, Fla.) recently competed at the IX Copa America (the Pan American Cup for speed skating clubs) in Colombia and took gold in the 300m sprint in 28.99. Coming off of her sophomore basketball season at Florida Atlantic University, Bowe took what skating training she'd found time for and made the most of it, proving she's truly an all-around athlete by following up her win in the sprint with a first-place finish in the marathon on the final day of competition. While she's now focused on her career as a student and collegiate athlete, it's obvious that she's still a force to be reckoned when she chooses to toe the starting line.
