Chaunte Lowe, an alumna of the School of Economics, was featured in “Tech's Chaunte Lowe Has High-Jump Medal Podium in Sight” for The Atlanta Journal-Constiution.

Excerpt:

Lowe, whose competition begins with preliminaries Thursday, is far from the rising junior who represented the U.S. in the 2004 Olympics, when she became Tech’s first-ever female Olympian.
