Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) is partnering with Charlotte-based star Anna Cockrell as she becomes the newest member of Lowe's Home Team. Cockrell is the first female athlete to join the lineup of world-class athletes, including Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott, Pro Bowl Tight End Travis Kelce, Pro Bowl Running Back Christian McCaffrey and recently drafted New England Patriots Quarterback Drake Maye.

Cockrell won the gold medal in the women's 400 meters hurdles event, with a personal best of 55.20s, at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships held in Bydgoszcz, Poland in 2016. She also won the gold medal in the women's 4 × 400 relay event. Cockrell is a two-time medalist at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru and she represented the United States in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
