Rheinhardt placed second in the 800-meter run at the State Finals June 2 in Bloomington. He finished in 1:52.32, a WCHS school record, and just behind the 1:52.17 turned in by state champion Gary Austin of Pike in the race. Rheinhardt also ran on the Warsaw 1,600 relay team which placed 12th at the State Finals.
