WS Chronicle

Over the weekend local 6-year-old track star Saleia Stowe added another title to her collection. While competing in the 2022 AAU National Indoor Track & Field Championship, Stowe finished in first place in the 400m dash, an event she has never lost. 

The Chronicle highlighted the talented Stowe last fall shortly after  she dominated outdoor nationals. Although she hasn’t been running track long its hard to deny Stowe’s talent when she steps on the track. She currently holds the national outdoor record for the 400m dash, which she shattered by 10 seconds, and the 200m dash for her age group. 

In addition to bringing home the 400m dash title last weekend, Stowe also finished fourth in the 200m dash.  

Saleia says she enjoys track because of the fun she has and the new friends she’s met from all across the country. And although she still has a few years before she’s eligible to compete, Saleia already has plans to one day running in the Olympics.
