Kilty, who was 17 at the time, is currently No. 3 on the National Team at 65 kg. Now 19 years old, Kilty has achieved an immense amount of age-group-level success, earning five World medals including a 2016 Cadet World bronze medal, a 2017 Cadet World title, Junior World silver medals in 2018 and 2019 and a 2019 U23 World silver. Kilty currently trains at the USOPTC in Colorado Springs.
