Kerrie Leonard

Irish Paralympic archer who has represented Ireland at 5 European Championships, 4 World Championships, the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Games where she finished 9th and 17th. The only competitive archer in Ireland who is in a wheelchair and yet has been the Open National Champion for the past 4 out of years, where she competed against archers of all abilities. Archery is a great leveller and she would love people to understand that with her results, the standard of para archery is so high in Ireland that it becomes one of the most inclusive sports on the island. Growing up on a farm means she has been very adaptive and loves to face challenges head on. Professionally has worked with global tech multinational, working in analytics and sales, on top of which she works closely with government bodies and organisations to raise the awareness of farm safety and raise the profile of para sport.
