Career
In the first of two FITA rounds (in which an archer shoots 36 arrows at each of 4 distances), Wilber shot for 1198 points out of a possible 1440. This put her in fourth place at the end of the first half of competition. Her second round score of 1226 was the best score of any archer in either round and was enough to put her well above the competition as well as set a new world record.
In the 1969 Outdoor World Championships, Wilber placed 2nd.
She died of Alzheimer"s disease in Jefferson, Iowa on October 19, 2008. Work is currently being performed in Jefferson to install a bronze statue in Doreen"s honor.
Work on the statue is expected to be complete in the Summer of 2011.
