Isabelle Reinders '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Isabelle (Belle) Reinders, I am a junior from Prior Lake Minnesota and have been on the varsity track and cross country team at Prior Lake high school since I was in 7th grade and ever since running has been my passion that I hope to pursue in college and beyond.

I specialize in the 400M with a PR of 55.63. I achieved this time at the 2024 state meet where I placed 4th alongside a very competitive field. I crushed a lot of my goals last season at the state meet where I anchored the state champion 4x400 team. I also anchored the 4x200 team at state where my team and i set a school record. In my 2024 season I also set the 400M conference and school record. Outside the 400M I have a 100M PR of 12.01, a 200M PR of 25.03, 800M split time of 2:18. Also during the 2024 cross country season I set a new personal record of 18:37 at the Nike regional meet. Though the 400M is my main event I love to have a versatile scope of the events I can succeed in and hope to focus on track and field in college.
