Chaunte Lowe, born on January 12, 1984, in California, is an American track and field athlete specializing in the high jump. Her early career saw her excel at John W. North High School, where she twice won the National Scholastic Indoor Championships. She also secured the 2001 CIF California State Meet in high jump and placed second in high jump, long jump, and triple jump in 2002, contributing to her team’s state championship. Her talent quickly became evident on the national and international stages, earning her a high jump bronze medal at the 2003 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships and leading to her first Olympic appearance in 2004.
Lowe consistently demonstrated her athletic prowess throughout her career. She represented the United States in four Olympic Games (2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016). A significant achievement came to light in 2016 when she was retroactively awarded the bronze medal for the 2008 Beijing Olympics high jump event, following the disqualification of three competitors due to doping violations. She is an American record holder in the women’s high jump with an outdoor clearance of 2.05m in 2010 and an indoor record of 2.02m in 2012. Her notable wins include a silver medal at the 2005 World Championships and a gold medal at the 2012 World Indoor Championships. After returning from pregnancy multiple times, she continued to compete at a high level, winning the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2014 and 2015, and qualifying for her fourth Olympic team in 2016.
In 2019, Lowe was diagnosed with triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma, an aggressive form of breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. Despite the physical and emotional challenges, she continued to train, aiming for her fifth Olympic appearance, and used her platform to advocate for early detection and breast cancer awareness. In 2021, she was recognized with the NCAA Inspiration Award for her work in raising awareness and offering hope to others facing similar struggles.
