Cartwright won the Victorian Indoor Championships in July.
The updated rankings show Cartwright with 633 points, trailing only New Zealand’s Selina Goddard (656).
The World Bowls Series rankings are determined on a two-year cycle, with points earned degrading to 50 per cent value after 12 month,s and so the current ranking would also include Cartwright’s semi-final appearance at the 2024 Australian Open, and her win in the 2024 Victorian Open Triples.
As a platinum event, runner-up at the Australian Open earned Cartwright 180 points, with an athlete’s top six events qualifying.
From Kyabram, Cartwright was representing Moama in competition play until this season, and has now joined Bendigo Bowls Club.
The next major event for Cartwright on the calendar is the World Bowls Series, another platinum level event, to be held at CluBarham from December 9 to 12.
