In 2017, the Queens Newsletter reported that former Olympic bronze medalist Peter Westbrook "remembered a much different McDowald, a young and smug one, when he began fencing. He recalled his initial doubts about his character... 'Now, he’s become humble,' Westbrook said. 'One day, Curtis is going to make that Olympic team.'"[3]
In June 2018 he won a bronze medal in épée at the 2018 Pan American Fencing Championships. He proceeded to finish in 8th place at his first ever Senior World Championships in Wuxi, 2018.[4] In March 2019 McDowald won a bronze medal at a Buenos Aires Fencing World Cup in Argentina.[2]
