Rachelle is a 2000 graduate of Dallas Carter High School where she competed in all sprint events and relays. It was not until her junior year that she truly began to see success in the 400-meter dash, finishing 4^th at the UIL state track meet in Austin. However, she finished 3^rd as a senior. She completed her senior year with second team All-State honors and as one of top 400-meter recruits in Texas. In summer track while competing with USATF Association, she earned multiple All American honors in the 100, 200, and 400-meter dashes. She was the 1999 400-meter Junior Olympic Champion for Young Women.

In the spring of 2000, Rachelle continued her track and field career by signing a full scholarship to Texas Tech University.

She concluded her collegiate tenure with several Big XII athletic and academic honors, as a 3-time All-American, and a member of the fastest outdoor 4X400 relay in school history with a time of 3:29.49.
