A couple of High River BMX racers are heading to the World Championships south of the border this Summer.

16 year old Wyatt Andres will compete with the boys, while 16 year old Jordan Knappe will go in the girls division.

Wyatt's Mom, Trudi Andres says her son was a late-comer to the sport.

"My youngest son really wanted to try it out, but Wyatt didn't. As soon as we got all the stuff for my youngest son, Wyatt said "I think I'll try this." My youngest son didn't take to it as much. But Wyatt was hooked!"

Both Andres and Knappe ride with the Okotoks BMX Club, who have some Okotoks members heading to the championships as well.

The World's get going, Tuesday, July 25 in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
