WEXFORD — In the backyard of Jena Reinheimer's Summit Township home is a throwing pit.

It slopes upward toward her house.

She hopes to break a window one day.

“My family always jokes around because it's aimed at our house,” Reinheimer said. “But it's up a really high hill. My family is always like, 'If you hit the house, it's OK because it means you're breaking records.”

The junior thrower on the Butler girls track and field team hasn't threatened damage to her home — yet.

But she's cast a swath of destruction across the section already the last two seasons.

Reinheimer threw 130 feet, 1 inch in the discus Tuesday against North Allegheny, by far her personal best.

Her best throw last season in the event touched 117 feet.

Reinheimer, though, has a purposefully narrow vision when it comes to what she wants to get out of a competition.

“If I (throw my personal best), even by an inch, I'm happy,” she said. “To me, it's more important to PB and have fun.”

Reinheimer, though, has also put in the work.

She is relentless in the weight room and also spends hours working on her mechanics, whether it is with a throwing coach or in her own back yard.

“She's a workhorse in the weight room,” said Butler girls track and field coach John Williams. “She's a workhorse when she goes out and competes. She just goes. The only thing she knows is to go. She's such a battler and such a competitor. You want 15 of her.”

Reinheimer even carries her prized shot puts and discs around with her in a bookbag.

“I have like three discs and shots,” Reinheimer said as she put the bag down. “This is light compared to normal.”

Reinheimer is constantly focusing on the finer points of her throws.

When she's practicing, she places a towel in the center of the throwing circle and makes sure she can pirouette over it to keep her mechanics sound.

“Throwing is so much mechanics,” Reinheimer said. “If you're just a little bit off, it'll affect everything.”

Reinheimer also works out with Knoch thrower Jordan Geist, who has set numerous state and national records throwing the shot and discus.

“I have so many supporters from different places,” Reinheimer said. “I'm friends with Jordan Geist and he helps me out. We go to the same club and we all throw and have a great time. Not many people get that opportunity to work out with an upcoming Olympian.”

Reinheimer does have her sights set on one number: 139-9.

That's the school record held in the discus by Liz Eury, who won the WPIAL and PIAA championship in 1998.

She passed Amanda White for third place on Butler's all-time list.

Reinheimer also has eyes on the shot put record at the school, which is held by Allison Sams at 42-1. That mark was established in 1994 and Sams won the state title that year.

Reinheimer threw 38-1 in the shot against NA.

“Of course my main goal is to break the record for discus and maybe shot,” Reinheimer said. “I have this year and next year to do it.”
