Thirteen outstanding young athletes from the Burt electorate have been recognised for their talent and achievements.

They were awarded in a ceremony with local member Matt Keogh as part of the Local Sporting Champions program.

“Our community has some incredible and diverse sporting talent that deserves to be recognised,” Mr Keogh said.
