Jennifer (Stafslien) Reimer, the 2001 Athlete of the Year at West Salem High School, won seven conference titles and earned 10 All-American honors as a versatile athlete on the Blugold track team for three years. She transferred to UWEC in 2002 after spending her freshman season at UW-La Crosse.
Reimer was the premier hurdler in the WIAC from 2002 through 2005 with two firsts and two seconds in the indoor 55-meter hurdles and one second and three firsts in the outdoor 100-meter high hurdles. She set the conference and school records in the indoor hurdles as a junior and the conference and school records in the outdoor hurdles as a senior.
Reimer also excelled in the jumps, winning the conference indoor long jump twice and placing in the top four outdoors three times.   She placed in the top four of both the indoor and outdoor triple jump all three seasons as a Blugold. She set school records in the indoor and outdoor triple as well as the indoor long jump. She still shares the record in the indoor triple jump.
Reimer was the WIAC track co-Athlete-of-the-Meet at the 2005 outdoor championships. Her speed allowed her to help the Blugold 4x400 relay team finish second in both the indoor and outdoor races and the 4x100 relay finish runner-up outdoors.
In national competition, Reimer was the runner-up in the outdoor long jump as a senior and third in the indoor long jump as a junior. She was also third in the outdoor 100-meter hurdles as a junior with fourths in the indoor 55-meter hurdles as both a junior and senior. She also earned a fifth (100mHH), three sevenths (triple jump, long jump, 4x400 relay) and an eighth (100mHH) in national competition.
Tracy Yengo was Reimer's Blugold coach. She said "Jen's hurdle form was innately proficient and she worked relentlessly to fine-tune her starts and approach to and off each hurdle." She added that "her quiet and humble demeanor made her approachable and well-liked by her teammates."
