Full interview with Lancaster County's Casey Kaufhold on her Olympic medal journey

Lancaster County’s Casey Kaufhold made her Olympic medal dream a reality after winning a mixed-team archery bronze in Paris.

It's a journey that began at the Lancaster Archery Academy in East Lampeter Township. She says it's support from where it all started that helped her achieve her ultimate goal.

"It's just surreal. It's something I've been striving for a long time, but to think I've accomplished it so soon is pretty wild. One of my wildest dreams," said Kaufhold. “Seeing all the support, not just from my family, but from Lancaster as well as a whole after we won the bronze mix team [was really neat]. I can't tell you how long it took me to go through every text message, every Facebook message, every Instagram DM, like, everything. It was so cool to see that many people watched."

It was support felt overseas by Kaufhold, and a celebratory feeling felt here in Lancaster as if her hometown academy was right there with her.
