Today I rise to support the many young men and women from the Lindsay community that have represented the people of Lindsay at either the state, national or international level on the sporting field. Local Sporting Champions works to support young athletes, young coaches and young officials. Firstly I would like to congratulate Corey Dehn, a gymnast Glenmore Park, who competed in the 2014 Australian National Championships in Melbourne. Two athletes who competed in the World Junior Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA, were Costa Kosuparis, a hammer thrower, and athlete Jasmine Dighton from Cambridge Gardens. Joshua Kalwy along with his good friend Kevin Achampong participated in the National Under 16 Championships in basketball in Victoria. In football, Luke Cotton from Glenmore Park participated in the New South Wales Under 14 State Titles at Orange. Mikayla Hinkley and Karleigh Melville in cricket competed in the Australian Junior Indoor Championships in South Australia. Tanya Borazio competed in football at the National Youth Championships at Coffs Harbour. Mikayla Weber, an incredible young skater from Emu Plains, competed in the Australian Artistic Roller Skating Championships in Queensland. I would like to congratulate all of these young athletes.
