At Garland ISD’s Keeley Elementary, three sisters—Ryleigh, Scotlynn, and Brighton—are making a mark in BMX racing. Starting at young ages, they’ve already earned national recognition, with Ryleigh ranked 25th, Scotlynn 27th, and Brighton 25th in their respective age groups. This year, they claimed major titles, including State Champion for Scotlynn and Brighton.
Beyond their success, the sisters founded L.O.V.E. Racing (Little Ones Vowing Excellence) to help young riders progress from balance bikes to pedal bikes and advance to expert levels. With a team of 25-30 riders, they foster a supportive community that encourages teamwork and growth.
For the sisters, racing is about more than winning; it’s about lifting others up. "When we're on the track, we're competitors, but off it, we're friends," Ryleigh shared. Their dedication to helping others exemplifies the true meaning of success—working together to achieve greatness.
