Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—Two young athletes from the Charlestown electorate have achieved extraordinary results in the NSW Cross Country Championships. The Championships, hosted at Willandra Cross Country track near Nowra, saw talented cross country athletes from across the state come together to match their skills, and I am pleased to acknowledge Frankie Westcott and Charlotte James on their achievements at the event. Frankie, a student at New Lambton South Public School achieved fifth place on a time of 11:18.5 in the Primary 11 Years Girls event, which covers a two-kilometre-long course. Charlotte James, a student at Charlestown South Public School came third in the Primary 12/13 Years Girls event, on a time of 10:57.6 over a three kilometre course. It is so inspiring to see girls and young women engaged in sport and testing their skills with one another in a friendly and well-contested tournament. My congratulations to Frankie, Charlotte, their coaches and supporters, and all the other competitors, on what I'm sure was a fantastic championship. Great work!
