Gymnastics career

Junior

2016 - 2017

Bowers began competing at the junior elite level in 2016, where she competed at the American classic and the P&G National Championships.

2018

Bowers was officially added to the junior national team after she was named to the team to compete at the 2018 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships alongside seniors Grace McCallum, Morgan Hurd, and Jordan Chiles and fellow juniors Kayla DiCello and Sunisa Lee. There she won gold in the team, junior all-around, and junior floor exercise finals. She won bronze on uneven bars. Bowers later competed at the Pan American Championships from June 13-15 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There she won gold in the team finals with Leanne Wong, Tori Tatum, and JaFree Scott and in the individual all-around, uneven bars and floor exercise finals together with bronze in balance beam.

On July 28 Bowers competed at the 2018 U.S. Classic. She finished third in the all-around behind Wong and DiCello after falling twice on floor exercise. She finished second on balance beam and uneven bars. Bowers traveled to Boston to compete in the 2018 U.S. Championships in August. She was one of the favorite to win the title based on her earlier victories in the all-around, but she struggled on the first day with multiple errors and finished in 17th place in the all-around on the first day. Bowers withdrew from the second day of competition, citing an injury sustained during training that had also hampered her on the first day of competition. Because she did not finish in the top six all-around, she was not automatically named to the national team.

Senior

In 2019 Bowers turned senior.In February she attended the national team camp in hopes of making an international assignment.Just before the camp Bowers re-injured her lower back and it was determined she had a spinal disc herniation and an edema on her vertebrae.She sat out the remainder of the season in order to recover.
