In her debut for the Tornado, Reynolds helped lead King to their third straight season-opening win, defeating Lander. In the meet she competed in 11 events, and set one school record. In the tumbling open pass, Reynolds scored 9.875, out of a possible 10.000, breaking the previous record of 9.775 that was set twice, in 2016 and 2019.
