An Alberta teenager with limited vision will display her skills in archery at an upcoming competition this summer in South Africa.
An Alberta teenager will join some of the country's best archers at an international competition in South Africa this summer — but it's not just her skills on the range that are making an impression.
Despite having no vision in her left eye and limited vision in her right, Kim has excelled in the sport of archery.Shooting for a year-and-a-half, it has been enough to earn her a place on an all-star Canadian team that will head to South Africa in July, where she will compete against other teenagers with regular vision.The dream began for her at age nine when she attended a specialized bible camp for people who are visually impaired.
"She's confident. She knows what she's doing. I know she's going to do not just us proud but she'll do Canada proud," her mother, Sandra, said. "She knows by her body position and reflection when she shoots each arrow where her body position has to be to shoot the next arrow," archery coach Kelly Kijewski said.
