A 15-year-old weightlifter, who has been snatching records and gold medals since she first started training just over a year-and-a-half ago, is in the running for a major local award.
Charlotte Neale is up for the 'Aztec Group Sporting Performance of the Year' award for athletes under 21 years old in the RaceNation 2019 Sport and Move More Jersey Awards.
She is nominated alongside Tom Deffains, Isaac Dodds, Cameron Pirouet and Grace Greenwood.
The award will be one of ten presented during the gala dinner at the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel on 18 October.
