Melissa's Story

In 1999, Jennison became the first junior recurve athlete in Australia to obtain a 1300 FITA star in a FITA recognised shoot. She was also the first junior Australian archer to win three national titles within 12 months from January 1999 to January 2000. At the Sydney 2000 Games, Jennison placed 19th in the individual and ninth in the teams event. Four years later in Athens, she equalled her individual placing from Sydney and came 11th in the teams event.
