MSG Dennis Bowsher

Modern Pentathlon Coach

MSG Dennis Bowsher was an avid swimmer growing up in Dallas, Texas, and learned about modern pentathlon as a sport in 2002. A three-time all-state swimmer, he already knew he qualified for one of the five pentathlon events. Expert coaches taught him to master the other four – fencing, equestrian, shooting, and running – and he became a two-time Junior National Champion (2003, 2004) and the 2005 U.S. National Champion right before leaving for Basic Training. His ascent continues with the Army and WCAP, including competing and coaching in the Olympic Games.
