Charlotte Cecilia MacGibbon (née Weeks, 27 September 1924 – 10 January 2009[1]) was an Australian former track and field athlete.[2]
In 1940, MacGibbon won her first national title in the javelin throw, aged just 15. In total, she won six national championships between 1940 and 1952, including two in the discus throw; she also placed third in the shot put in 1947. At the 1950 British Empire Games she became the first Australian athlete to win an international throwing event,[3] taking the javelin with a distance of 38.84 m.[4]
In 2006, at the age of 81, she participated in the 2006 Commonwealth Games Queen's baton relay.[5]
