in competition. Both Mantia and Bowen are veterans to the

garnered ten medals at the outdoor competition, securing her
spot on Junior World Team USA. Unstoppable World Class Ladies

she contended, collecting a total of seven golds at the Outdoor
National Championships and securing a placement on Senior World
Team USA.
