The Mackay and District BMX Club is beaming with pride after two of its rising stars, Ruby and Lilly, delivered standout performances at Rounds 3 and 4 of the National Series in Lake Macquarie late last month.
Ruby took on a new challenge, double-classing for the first time at a national level – racing in both the 20-inch and Cruiser bike categories. Her debut was nothing short of impressive.
In Round 3, Ruby powered her way into the finals in both classes, finishing 7th in the 20” category and landing a podium finish with 3rd place in the Cruiser. Round 4 brought more drama and determination. After taking a fall in the 20” motos, Ruby showed true resilience by dusting herself off and finishing the day. Her grit was rewarded in the Cruiser class, where she once again took 3rd place on the podium – proving consistency and courage go hand in hand.
Lilly also made her mark, proudly representing not just Mackay, but Australia, as part of the prestigious Mighty 11s Trans-Tasman Challenge – a highly competitive event that pits the best young riders from Australia against their New Zealand counterparts. Racing with passion and pride, Lilly helped lead the Australian team to victory, with both the girls’ and boys’ squads taking out the top spots.
It was a weekend full of adrenaline, heart, and hard-earned success – and Mackay's BMX girls left nothing on the track. Congratulations to Ruby and Lilly on an inspiring weekend of racing and representing their club and region with pride.
