The United States Junior World team consisted of twenty four archers­ 12 in the Junior division (ages 17-18), and 12 in the Cadet division (ages 15-16). Each age group is then broken into shooting style (recurve or compound) and gender, ending three archers per team.

Pearce was on the Compound Cadet Women’s team with 14-year-old Kailey Johnston from Georgia, and 16-year-old Tristan Scarvan from Wisconsin. Each team member competes individually and as part of the team.

“I was so excited when I made the team,” Pearce said. “I knew that it was going to be the experience of a lifetime, but it was so much more than I could have ever imagined.”
