Olive DiBernardo has a passion for BMX racing.
The 11-year-old from Carroll Township has been competing for five years now racing bikes and she is hooked on the sport.
She got her passion naturally, however.
Her father, Matthew, competed in BMX bike racing when he was a teenager.
Olive’s two older brothers also compete in the sport.
“One day she just decided she wanted to be like her dad and brothers,” said Alicia DiBernardo, her mother. “She watched her brothers compete and wanted to do it, too. She’s been at it ever since.”
