McALLEN - As a freshman, McAllen High School senior track standout Joshua McGowen went to school on an American military base in Kaiserslautern, Germany. His father Tommy, a McAllen native, was based in Europe while serving in the US Army.
McGowen, already showing signs of promise on the track as a youngster, competed on the varsity level as a freshman. In the 110 hurdles, he bolted out to a huge lead only to clip the last obstacle and fall to the track. Somehow though, he was able to crawl to the finish and throw his body across the finish line first and win the gold.
