Book Chaunte Lowe through The Keynote Curators

Biography

Chaunte’ Lowe is the story of determination, perseverance, and strength.  Not only is Lowe a mother of three, a wife, and a finance professional, but she is also a professional athlete, an American Record Holder, a 4-time Olympian, a 3-time World Championship medalist, and a 12 12-time US National Champion.

When speaking, Lowe is true to how she performs. She is animated, entertaining, and humorous. Always a crowd favorite, with impossibly defined abs, dramatic dance moves, and even the occasional backflip, she dances and plays to the crowd as she shares her stories of beating impossible odds, time and time again. She can keep the group engaged, hanging on her every word or jump. Those who get a chance to encounter her leave inspired and motivated. Her infectious personality is electrifying.  You can’t help but leave an interaction with her with a winning, “I can do ANYTHING” attitude.

Lowe realized her childhood dream of attending the Olympics at only 20 years old, making her the first woman from Georgia Tech’s track and field team to become an Olympian. Lowe won silver at the 2005 World Championships the following year to become the first American woman to win a world outdoor championships high jump medal since Louise Ritter won bronze at the inaugural event in Helsinki in 1983. In 2008, she represented her country again in the high jump at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Days after returning from the 2012 Olympic Games, she began teaching trigonometry at Grayson High School in Atlanta. 

Lowe has broken the American Record three times and is the current indoor and outdoor American Record holder with 2.02m (6’-7.5”) and 2.05 (6’8.75”) meters, respectively. In addition to her Olympic Games appearances, she has represented the United States on six world championship teams. She most recently represented the US in her fourth Olympic Games in the summer of 2016 and is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. 

She graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in economics. She is married to triple jumper Mario Lowe and has two children.
