At Cornell
Reimnitz had an outstanding freshman year, making the transition from high school to college track and field without a hitch. During her first indoor season, she excelled in all sprint events, setting the Cornell freshman mark at 300m, running 40.58 on a flat track for the seventh-best time all-time at Cornell. She was the lead-off leg on the Ivy League champion 4x400m relay team, running 57.4 on her leg after just missing the 400m final at 57.55. She gained all-East status as she led the 4x400m team to a second-place showing at the ECAC Championships. Outdoors, her season began with excellent races in California, leading her sprint relay team to a title at the Northridge Invitational. An injury at the Sea Ray Relays in Tennessee cut short an impressive freshman campaign.

Reimnitz had a great senior year, winning a Heps title indoors by running the second leg of Cornell's 4x400. She was the first leg of Cornell's third-place 4x400 at the Indoor ECACs, and she helped the 4x400 team win a medal at the Penn Relays in the Heps event. She was part of another Ivy League Championship team at the Outdoor Heps, taking the second leg of the 4x400 yet again. And her relay efforts were terrific at the ECAC Outdoors as well, as Cornell again took home a 4x400 title. Reimnitz's career came to a close with a berth in the NCAA East Regional in Jacksonville, Fla., where the 4x400 team finished 21st.

Before Cornell
Reimnitz led her Bismarck high school team to the 2007 and 2008 state titles. She won nine state championships as a high school athlete and holds state records in the 4x200m and 4x400m relays. She is also an outstanding basketball player, as her team was the state runner-up as a senior.
