Brittney Bowe

Induction:
2019

Brittney Bowe was a four-year member of the Florida Atlantic women’s basketball program, and left with her name sprinkled throughout the FAU record book. She scored 1,062 career points as an Owl, which ranked as the eighth most in school history at the time and she was the ninth FAU women’s basketball player to join the Owls’ 1,000-point club. Her 377 career assists ranked fourth in program history at the time. Following her successful FAU career, Bowe continued in athletics but traded the basketball court for an ice rink. Bowe had trained in the offseason as an inline skater while at FAU, but after graduation, her interest turned fully to the ice. Bowe found success early, qualifying for the 2012 World Cup and took silver in the 1000m. In that same season, Bowe won silver at the U.S. Single Distance Long Track Championship in the 1000m and 1500m. She continued to compete internationally, but her ice skating career hit a new milestone in 2014 when Bowe qualified for the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. The women’s team took sixth place overall and Bowe competed in three events. Most recently, Bowe competed at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics where the American team won bronze. As an individual, Bowe just missed the podium with a fourth-place finish in the 1000m. She also had a pair of fifth-place finishes in the 500m and 1500m.
