Hamilton, OH, Chula Vista, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Decatur, AL, College Station,
TX, Albuquerque, NM, and a few NFAA tournaments in Las Vegas, NV and
Louisville, KY. Kali has even traveled outside of the country to compete in
Rome in 2015 where she was qualified to compete with the Junior Dream
Team, representing the USA team, in the European Youth World Cup. “I was
there for about eight days,” said Kali. “People from thirty different countries
were there. I traveled with a friend from New Mexico and we ended up
becoming real close. I didn’t get a chance to tour, but I met a lot of new
people.” Kali wishes to someday travel and compete in Venice. “I have
always been interested in European culture.”
Although constantly faced with competition, Kali doesn’t allow the stress to play a major
role in her life. “You can’t control their arrow,” she said, “What you do affects only you.”
Being talented in such a challenging sport, Kali has developed a variety of relationships
with those who have encouraged her throughout her endeavors. Because of this, Kali
has obtained a bright outlook on life. “I have had people tell me I can’t do archery,” she
said. “This has pushed me to do good. I definitely have someone stronger to lean on and
I think it’s great knowing you have fun and friends. You realize how many people have
bad attitudes, but archery has helped me keep a good attitude.”
Some of those that have made a positive impact in Kali’s life and talent in archery
include a number of archery coaches such as Eric Tollefson, as well as support from her
mother and father. Kali has even become a role model for younger, budding archers as
well and wishes to use her talent to become an archery coach down the road.
