Olivia Grenardo is one of the fastest a girls on the track. She has been running for 7 years, and has ran for 3 years with the head coach, Coach Ryan Taylor . She loves track because of the way it feels to go fast. She says, ” It gives me this feeling that nothing else gives me, when the gun goes off, and I take that first step…nothing compares to the adrenaline I get from racing and competing.”

In preparation for this upcoming Regis track season, Grenardo is doing pre-season training with a team called the Steppers. Even though the season doesn’t start until spring, she is already working to get better. Her reasoning is,”while I am out there running, there are other girls sitting down. I have to take the opportunity to get better and build myself as an athlete.”

In all 7 years of her running she has faced a lot of challenges. There was one point in time where she stepped on a piece of glass and lost feeling in a part of her foot. Through everything, she has had one steady support system; her dad. Grenardo says her dad is “at every meet and practice, he is always supporting me to be the best athlete I can be.”
In this upcoming season Grenardo is looking to beat her own records and maybe one or two school records.
