Eastern Washington University Athletics

Combining her track career with being a mother, Rainwater won six Big Sky Conference indoor championships (55 & 200 in 1990, 1994 and 1995) and two Big Sky titles outdoors (100 and 200 in 1994). Three times she was the “Track” Athlete of the Meet at the BSC Championships (1990 indoors, 1994 outdoors, 1995 indoors). She advanced to the NCAA Championships twice (indoors in 1995 outdoors in 1995) but never placed. She set a Big Sky record with 76 points scored at indoor conference meets (currently second in BSC history). She set Big Sky all-time records in the 200 indoors (23.82) and 100 outdoors (11.55 in 1995), and Big Sky Championship records in the 55 indoors (6.95 in 1995). All three records are still standing through the 2011-12 school year. Those three marks are school records as well, and Rainwater also owns EWU’s 200 meter outdoors (23.73 in 1994). On 12 occasions she earned Big Sky Athlete of the Week accolades. After her 1990 season at Eastern, she was married and had her first child, Khayla, and moved to Alaska. Upon returning to Eastern, she competed for two more seasons under head coach Rosalind Wallace. Khayla is now 22 and recently had twins.
