One of USF top sprinters in history, Reutner, set USF's 60 meter indoor mark of 7.89 in 2000, which was just broke in 2017. While at USF, she set outdoor marks in 100 (12.34) and 200 meters (25.34), both in 2000. When she left USF, she owned four of the top-five 100-meter dash times, including the top three marks.

In addition, Reutner also recorded top three times in the 200 meters, while setting the 55-meter indoor dash mark of 7.40. When she graduated, Reutner four of the top five times in the 55 meters. She ran on the record-setting 4x100 relay (49.10, 1999) and 4x200 relay (1:47.29, 1998). As a part of the 4x100 relay, she was a member of teams from 1996-2000 that had the six best times in school history up to that point. Reutner won 11 SDIC conference titles individually or as a member of the 4x100 relay. She was on the 4x100 relay in 1998, 1999 and 2000 (outdoor), 100 meters in 1999 and 2000 (outdoor), and, 200 meters at 2000 outdoor meet. Additionally, she won indoor titles in 55 meters in 1998, 1999; 200 meters in 1998, 1999 and 2000. A five-time national qualifier, she set two records (55, 200) and was part of the recording-setting 800-meter relay to lead USF to the South Dakota Iowa Athletic Conference (SDIAC) crown with 114 points in 1999.
