Minister for Sport and Recreation Karl Hampton has congratulated Northern Territory Institute of Sport (NTIS) athletes on a year of amazing achievements which included Olympic and Paralympic medals.

 

The NTIS celebrated last night with their annual Southern Region awards presentation evening recognising the outstanding efforts of the Institute’s dedicated and talented athletes.

 

“Throughout the year we have witnessed the talent, discipline and drive of NTIS athletes and the awards are a chance to recognise their hard work and achievements,” said Mr Hampton.

 

The NTIS has supported over 150 athletes from around the Territory through squad and individual athlete scholarship programs.

 

“These athletes have access to the best level of expertise, services and resources available through our NT Institute of Sport,” Mr Hampton said.

 

“The Northern Territory Government is committed to helping our Territory athletes obtain excellence and to be best they can.

 

“I also commend the efforts and the achievements of the NTIS coaches and support staff who play a vital role in assisting our Territory athlete’s progress along their pathway to success.”

 

To all our NTIS athletes you are wonderful role models for the next generation of sports men and women and great ambassadors for the Territory, I congratulate you.
