The 5-foot-3 junior took fifth at the national Foot Locker Cross Country Championships this past season to earn First Team All-American honors. Dowty also finished fifth and seventh, respectively, at the Foot Locker and NXN Midwest Regional championships, which garnered All-Region recognition in both events. Ranked as the nation’s No. 14 distance talent of 2024 in both the Dyestat 100 and the MileSplit 50, she gave national champion Jane Hedengren of Utah all she could handle in taking second at the Nike XC Town Twilight Invitational last October, finishing closer to Hedengren than any competitor all year (10.16 seconds).
Dowty has maintained a weighted 4.37 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
A devoted member of her church community, Dowty has volunteered locally as part of multiple community service initiatives in association with her parish. She has also donated her time as a youth running coach and with a student group that delivers uplifting messaging to her school community.
