The Wendouree Archery Club member has been selected to represent Australia at the 2018 Oceania Championships during July.
Those titles will be held in Noumea, New Caledonia.
Forrest’s place in the national team comes on the back of a sensational Archery Australia Youth National Championships campaign.
At the carnival in Morwell, which was hosted by Twin City Archers Gippsland, Forrest claimed three gold and three silver medals.
Competing in the intermediate category for archers aged 15/under, Forrest’s wins came in the female field, 72 arrow and state team compound events. She placed second in the clout, 144 arrow target and youth match play pairs divisions. In the pairs competition, she combined with Hayden Crampton.
At the Oceania Championships, Forrest will shoot a compound bow as an intermediate, which is the 13-15 years age group.
The 14-year-old competes for the Wendouree club with her father Tom and is a student at Phoenix P-12 Community College in Sebastopol.
Forrest took part in a small club tournament at the Prince of Wales Park range on Saturday.
The 2018 Oceania Championships run between July 9-13.
