Tori Bowie continues to bring pride to the Golden Eagles in the world of track and field. Bowie is a two-time long jump champion in the 2011 NCAA indoor and outdoor championships for Southern Miss.
In a final lunge at the Track and Field World Championships in London, Bowie took home her first individual world championship title in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.85 seconds.
After a poor start, Bowie was forced to chase down the reigning Jamaican Olympic champion, Elaine Thompson, and edged out Marie-Josee Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast.
