There was nothing more empowering than to watch her moving acceptance speech as she dedicated her trophy to the 43 Mexican students who have been missing, causing an international uproar.

“These are difficult moments for us,” Downs said as she accepted her trophy. “But we will come out ahead and we will find justice.”
