Four young Central Coast athletes have been announced as 2024 Commonwealth Games NSW Athlete Grant winners.
A total of 40 athletes from 22 different sports will be awarded a $1,000 grant.
The Central Coast recipients are Ella Carr of Matcham, (Hockey NSW), Tara French of Forresters Beach (Cricket NSW), Levi Lipman of Blue Haven, (Judo NSW) and Abbie McTeare of Gorokan (Boxing NSW).
“These young athletes have demonstrated tremendous ability in their respective pathways,” CGNSW CEO Peter Tate said.
“Like many previous award winners, I’m confident quite a few will be chosen to represent Australia in future Commonwealth games.”
Tara French, who was the sole recipient from Cricket NSW, has represented NSW Country in National Youth Championship sides, and has again been selected into the U19 Female NSW Country academy squad for season 2024-25.
French was also named as a Tier Two scholar in the Basil Sellers Emerging Player Program for 2023-24.
“Tara is a talented athlete with great potential as a fast bowler,” Cricket NSW high performance coach – Female Pathways Sarah Aley said.
“Her progress over the past two years within the Cricket NSW pathway has been fantastic to watch and we hope that this grant will continue to help her grow and develop as an athlete and push for higher honours in the years to come.”
Athletes were nominated by their respective State Sporting Organisations from their talented programs.
Nominating criteria requires the athlete to be a resident of NSW and under 20 years of age.
