Rachel Kathryn Gowey (born October 3, 1997) is an American artistic gymnast. She was a U.S. National Team member, from 2014 until her retirement from elite gymnastics in 2016, following her performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
Gowey was a member of the gold-winning U.S. team at the 2015 Pan-American Games in Toronto. There, she also won a gold medal individually on the uneven bars.
During her elite career, she was coached by Liang Chow, coach of 2008 Olympic balance beam champion Shawn Johnson and 2012 Olympic individual all-around champion Gabby Douglas.
She is now coached by Jenny Rowland at the University of Florida, where she began attending in 2016.
Gowey became a Senior International Elite in 2013 and advanced to the USA Gymnastics National Championships, but was unable to compete there due to a back injury.
Gowey was added to the U.S. National Team in 2014. Since her addition to the squad, she was named to the U.S. delegation to the 2014 City of Jesolo Trophy in Venice, Italy. She finished 5th in the all-around with a score of 56.750.
Gowey competed at the 2014 Secret U.S. Classic, placing 4th scoring 57.000. She was scheduled to compete at the 2014 P&G U.S National Championships but had to withdraw after fracturing her ankle on her triple twist dismount on the balance beam at podium training. After recovering and attending national team camps, Gowey was added back to the team on November 25, 2014.
At the Pan American Games in Toronto (July 11-15, 2015), she was part of the US team that won gold convincingly. She also won gold on the uneven bars with a score of 14.725. Following the P&G Championships, where she placed 6th on the uneven bars (15.350 Day 1 + 14.700 Day 2 = 30.050) and 6th on the balance beam (14.400 Day 1 + 14.350 Day 2 = 28.750), Gowey was named to the Senior National Team and is invited to the 2015 Worlds Selection Camp in September.
