Puzicha is now beating the best under 15 women’s riders in Australia at the National Junior Track Series.
Last weekend she headed to Queensland's Anna Meares Velodrome for the penultimate round of the 2016-17 series, Puzicha part of a huge field of 193 riders.
Over the two days of packed racing, she contested eight finals and won three of them – the three-lap Derby Sprint, the Flying 250 and the six-lap Keirin.
Heading in to the final round of the series at Adelaide in January, Puzicha sits fourth overall in the junior women’s under 15s category.
While she sits on 87 points and is unlikely to catch leader Olivia Saunders (176), she is just 12 points off a series podium.
She and her fellow Western Region Academy of Sport riders are sitting second in the teams standings.
