Mackay BMX rider Dylan Secher has finished 8th in the country in the 11-year boys at the Auscycling BMX National Championships held in Launceston last week.

Dylan competed against 44 of the best 11-year boys from all over Australia.

He placed 2nd in his first moto and then went on to win his following 2 motos, to progress to the quarter finals, which he also won convincingly.

From there he progressed to the semi-finals, also placing first.

This earned his spot in the finals, where he placed 8th.

The Mackay and District BMX Club member is fairly new to the sport and has only been competing for 2 years.

Dylan’s brother Beau also competed at the National Championships along with Mackay riders Liam Wilson, Travis Chilton, Aidan Parish, Bailey Smith, Tyler Smith, Connor Parish, Brodie Wilson and Brock de Silva.
