Erin Taylor marked the occasion of her 21st birthday last Sunday with a kayaking win.
Competing at the opening World Cup canoeing regatta in Hungary, she was first across the line in the K1 500m B final.
Taylor did a personal best of 1:52.83 in her heat to show that she continues to improve. She went on to finish fourth in her semi-final from which the first three placegetters qualified for the nine-berth A final.
A year ago, she was 17th in the event. Last weekend's win placed her 10th overall.
The next cup regatta is in Duisberg, Germany on June 13.
