Wyatt Rollman, 14, Granville, takes careful aim with a pellet rifle at the Minot Rifle and Pistol Club. Rollman has received an invitation to participate in the Paralympic Trials in Hillsdale, Mich.
He was so close a year ago. Now he’s right on target, precisely where Wyatt Rollman hoped he would be.
The 14-year-old Granville youth saw his opportunity for a chance to participate in the Paralympics trials get derailed by a coronavirus shutdown in 2020. Now, a year later, Rollman has again qualified for the Paralympics trials at Hillsdale, Mich., May 12-16.
Rollman’s sport is precision air rifle. His disability is muscular dystrophy. His shooting is done from a wheelchair. Rollman’s first year of shooting was in 2020 at the Minot Rifle and Pistol Club junior shooting program. He quickly found the sport to his liking.
