Cheney High School senior Mollie Reno is the Fleet Feet Athlete of the Month, and she’ll be the first to tell you that running is a sport that is hard to love. 

“I feel like running is not something that is always easy to love,” Reno said. “But after a while it might become your stress relief. This is a sport that really shows if you are putting the work in and if so you will be rewarded. Until I learned and got to that point in my running career it was very hard to get out and run every day.” 

Reno said she looks up to athletes like Emma Coburn and Colleen Quigley because they take pride in working hard in their running and everything else they do. 

“My personal goals would be to get a personal best in all my events and make it to state track this year,” she said. “My goals for the team would be to be League Champs, Regional Champs, and get on the podium as a team at state.” 

The 17 year old said she loves her FFA classes the most, and in her free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outside, swimming, fishing, and spending time in the neighboring state of Colorado. Her plans for after graduation include attending Kansas State University, and majoring in Agriculture Business. 

Congratulations to Mollie Reno for being the Fleet Feet Athlete of the Month.
