Clearing Every Hurdle: Pueblo East’s Reagan Falletta Earning National Attention

Pueblo East senior Reagan Falletta has already built one of the most decorated track careers in Colorado. Now, with Division I opportunities on the horizon, she's chasing one final season of championships, records, and a legacy that could stand among Pueblo's all-time greats.

Pueblo East’s Reagan Falletta continues to prove that greatness isn’t a destination–it’s a standard.

Over the last three seasons, Falletta has transformed from one of Colorado’s brightest young talents into one of the nation’s premier high school hurdlers, building a resume that places her among the elite athletes in the country. Three Colorado Class 4a state championships. Three runner-up finishes. Three First Team All-Colorado selections. Two consecutive MileSplit All-American honors in the 300-meter hurdles. And with her senior season around the corner, it feels as though she’s only beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible.

What separates Falletta isn’t simply the medals around her neck or the championships listed beside her name. 

It’s her versatility that is electric for Pueblo East track and field.

While many elite track athletes specialize in a single event, Falletta has made an impact across nearly every corner of the sport. Whether she’s exploding out of the blocks in the sprints, attacking hurdles with precision, soaring through field events, or anchoring relay teams, her ability to contribute in multiple disciplines has made her one of Colorado’s most complete athletes. 

But that versatility wasn’t built overnight.

It was built long before the championship races, before the medals, and before national recognition ever arrived.

“I credit my family for shaping me into a versatile athlete,” Falletta said. “They always encouraged me to run up and down the halls when my sister attended East, and my dad’s friends would always challenge me to races at office parties. Growing up, I played flag football, T-ball, and basketball, which helped me build a wider range of abilities.”

That foundation has carried her to heights few athletes ever reach.

As a sophomore, she earned MileSplit Third Team All-American honors in the 300 hurdles. A year later, she elevated her performance again, becoming a MileSplit Second Team All-American while continuing to dominate Colorado’s 4a classification. 

Yes for someone who has already accomplished so much in her prep career, Falletta isn’t spending much time looking back.

With Division 1 programs already recruiting her, the Pueblo East senior hopes to continue her track career at the collegiate level. But before that next chapter begins, she has one more opportunity to leave an unforgettable mark on Colorado track and field. 

“My personal goals heading into my senior year are to build leadership and healthy habits that will carry on into college but also help me succeed next track season,” Falletta said. “Hopefully, I’ll be able to reach the standards I have set for myself by reclaiming titles and setting more records.”

Outside of track, Falletta finds balance through volleyball, a sport she says provides a refreshing change of pace from the pressure that comes with competing at a high level. 

“Volleyball is my getaway sport because it gives me a chance to step away from the pressure of track, compete in different environments, and spend time with different people,” she said. “I also enjoy going to the gym, and doing arts and crafts when I have the chance.”

While records, medals, and national accolades often define an athlete’s career, those closest to Falletta know her for the discipline, humility, and consistency that have fueled her success every step of the way. 

As her senior year approaches, Falletta sees another opportunity, another challenge, and another chance to raise the bar for Pueblo East high school.
