Charlotte recently competed in the School Sport Australia Athletics meet, defending her 800 metres championship title.
Federal Member for Shortland Jill Hall presented Charlotte with her $500 grant at an afternoon tea.
“It is great to see Charlotte achieve such a high standard in her chosen sport,” Ms Hall said.
“She has represented her school and her state in this prestigious event. I know she has worked very hard to get to this level and has committed many hours of training.
“This grant will help her with training, uniform and equipment costs and I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated.”
The Local Champions Sporting Champions Grants are available to young people aged 12 to 18 years who are competing at a state, national or international level.
The next round of grants is open until June 30, 2016.
