Support and dedication bring results

NINE-year-old Holy Rosary student Trey Hicks has won second place in the Victorian Junior Motocross Northern Region Championships.

Trey has been riding since he was two years and ten months old.

“His mother Ammie and I are really proud of him,” said his father, Tony Hicks.

“He is very humble about his achievements.

“As well as earning second place in the 50cc class, he only narrowly missed out on being selected for the Supercross at Marvel Stadium. He is hoping he will make it next year.

“Almost every weekend we travel to different locations across the state so he can compete. As a family we love it.”

Trey is sponsored by WBR Motorcycles and LCR Fabrication and Small Engines and is grateful for the support he receives from family and friends.

“I am really thankful for the support from Mum and Dad, and my brother Nate who is a pro-rider,” he said.

“And I couldn’t do this without Damien the mechanic and my coach Kale Makeham.

“Our family friend Tung made me a practice track on his property at Mia Mia and I love going there to practice.

“We always have a great time at the events, and I feel like I am improving.

“I love riding dirt bikes, and I am looking forward to continuing riding next season.”

When he is not riding, Trey is a popular student at Holy Rosary school and

plays football for Heathcote Under 12s.
