Holland qualified for the U.S. shooting team in the men's 10 m running target at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He occupied one of the top two berths to join with fellow marksman and three-time Olympian Adam Saathoff at the national trials, having registered a minimum qualifying standard of 566.[3][4][5] Virtually unknown to the world scene, Holland showed off his best to shoot 281 on the slow-target portion and a lowly 270 in the fast-moving round throughout the series, shutting out the final to a distant eighteenth with a total score of 551 points.[6]
