Amanda wins sponsorship

Woy Woy athlete Amanda Bartim is one of five local sportspeople to receive a grant sponsorship from the Central Coast Regional Organisation of Councils.

The joint initiative of Gosford and Wyong Shire councils provides sponsorship to residents who have been selected by a national, state or regional body to participate in a recognised sporting or cultural event.

In return for sponsorship, the recipients promote the Central Coast in the local, interstate and international arenas.

Amanda was given $1000 to compete in the World Junior Track and Field Championships held in Canada late last month.

Amanda's selection has come from outstanding results in the Under-20s pole vault which saw her place first in qualifying trials.
