University of Central Missouri student-athletes Noah Smith of Mules Football and Therese Reindl of Jennies Track & Field have been selected as the September 2025 Central Bank Student-Athletes of the Month.
Noah Smith, Jr., Offensive Lineman, Lawrence, Kan.
From nominator: “Noah has been in a couple of my classes while here at UCM. He has not only shown his academic ability in my classes but his leadership ability as well. He takes the younger students in the class under his wing and helps them be successful while holding them accountable. Noah is truly an impressive young man. His willingness to learn and lead others is what makes him such an outstanding individual.”
Therese Reindl, Sr., High Jump, Germany
From nominator: “Therese is an exceptionally talented senior biochemistry major. Her academic accomplishments are vast, she has been participating in undergraduate research with Professor Caitlin Lacker for over a year, and she participates in numerous outreach and service activities on campus. Most recently, this has included travel to Cuba as part of the Global Vision cohort. In short, Therese's accomplishments are incredibly significant even before you consider the amount of time/effort she puts into representing UCM as an athlete.”
