A judo competitor from Katherine joins 28 other talented athletes who have been awarded Northern Territory Institute of Sport (NTIS) Individual Athlete Scholarships.

 

Minister for Sport Karl Hampton today congratulated the athletes, including Stevie Kelly from Katherine who has been offered a NTIS Development Scholarship after being placed in the Judo Federation of Australia’s Talent Identification and Development program.

 

“It’s terrific to see athletes from our regions join the elite ranks of NTIS scholarship holders,” Mr Hampton said.

 

“Darwin weightlifter Andrea Mullins has also been awarded a NTIS Development Scholarship after selection in Weightlifting Australia’s Youth Development Squad.

 

“The Territory continues to produce fine sporting talent we can all be proud of.”

 

Alice Springs Tenpin Bowler Andrew McArthur received an upgraded scholarship and joins other world class scholarship holders such as Melanie Hall in Wheelchair Basketball and Desmond Abbott in Hockey as an NTIS Elite Scholarship holder.

 

“Andrew was upgraded due to his recent selection in the Australian team that finished fifth in the Commonwealth Championships in Belfast,” Mr Hampton said.
