Janice Walth

Being Legally Blind doesn't stop Janice Walth from following her dreams! She has taken home a silver medal and set 5 world records in the world of Archery. Wait...what?! How could someone who can't see possibly be any good at archery? According to Janice, only about 5 percent of the shot is reliant on sighting. The other 95 percent is about form, performance, and consistency of the shot. The biggest challenge is having a consistent foot stance and avoiding any swaying. But other than that, she doesn't have anyone behind her telling her where to shoot- left, right, up, or down. It's all in her hands! Some wisdom Janice offers is : Don't take yourself too seriously, surround yourself with positive people, work hard, and be patient.


In 2009, Walth joined the U.S. team in the Czech Republic for the International Paralympics Archery World Championship. She snagged the bronze medal and broke two of her previous world records. The Paralympic World Championships dropped the visually impaired category in 2011 and 2013 because of low participation. Nevertheless, Walth is making strides for the sport as an archer, philanthropist and advocate for the visually impaired. This is her story.
