"Jennifer Lynn Cowan: I am 24, live near Chicago and started competing in Figure shows this past May. Throughout my life I have always been an athlete. I actually wrestled, ran x-country and track in high school and was a scholarship track athlete in college. Once I graduated I had a big void in my life, I tried running a marathon (which just wasn't for me), then I found Figure shows. Like I said, May was my first show and I loved it. This past year I ended up competing in 4 shows and I have 3 lined up so far in 2006, starting with Junior Nationals. Watch out for me, I plan on making many heads turn! I can be contacted at jenniferlynncowan@gmail.com Watch out for my website: www.jenniferlynncowan.com coming soon!"
