Ripona Elementary third grader Vivienne Taylor has been on a tear at various Northern California tracks in the past month.

The recent run has vaulted her up to third place in the 8-year old girls expert class of the USA BMX state standings.

Her most recent accomplishment was a first-place finish in a state championship qualifier held Aug. 17 at Boomtown BMX in Shasta Lake.

Prior to that, she claimed the Redwood Empire BMX Gold Cup title in her division on July 29. The following day, at the same track, she was the runner-up in a state championship qualifier.

Then on Aug. 5, Taylor took third in another state championship qualifier at Oak Creek BMX in Roseville.
