STATESBORO, Ga. () — A senior at Statesboro High School is now a Georgia State Junior Olympic Champion in air rifle and smallbore.

Katlyn Sullivan is now qualified for both disciplines for the National Junior Olympics which will be held in April in Anniston and Talladega, Al.

The competitions are held over a six-day period where junior athletes will compete in air rifle, air pistol, smallbore rifle and 25m pistol disciplines, a Bulloch County Schools spokesperson said. This year, the Junior Olympics will also serve as the selection match for the Junior Pan American Games to be held in Paraguay.

Sullivan is the reigning 2024 GHSA Riflery Individual State Champion and is a three-time member of the GHSA Georgia All-Star Team in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Last year, she scored bronze in the State Junior Olympics for smallbore and air rifle and placed 14th overall in the smallbore at the US Nationals.

The senior signed to the University of Nebraska’s 2025-2026 NCAA collegiate team under Head Rifle Coach Richard Clark.
