The 15-year-old, who is a member of Barnsley Archery Club, is in the Great Britain youth team for the Moscow Youth Cup second leg which runs until Friday.
Carpenter, who recently won the Cadet Ladies’ Compound Team Bronze medal at the European Outdoor Youth Championships in Slovenia, is one of 29 archers have been chosen to represent their country.
The team selected range in age from 13 to 20 and compete in both the recurve and compound disciplines and many of the team competed at the recent European Outdoor Youth Championships in Ljubljana, where the GB team was very successful taking home four team medals.
Sara Symington, performance director of Archery GB, said: “We have selected a really strong squad for this tournament, with a mix of current medallists, such as Patrick Huston, and up-and-coming young archers who are taking to the international stage for the first time.
“It was great to see the young archers working together as a team in Slovenia and I’m sure that they will continue to help each over improve in Moscow.
“After the four European Outdoor Youth Championships medals, we are hoping for the accolades to continue coming in Russia.”
