Doing anything consistently is going to be better for her than doing nothing, so bear that in mind.

The body weight items might be a good starting place for her, especially if she struggles to do that load. But she needs to get to the 5x5 level and not 2x15. She's better off doing a reverse lunge than 15 body weight squats, and you can safely load the reverse lunge with light dumbbells if she is struggling to start out. Getting to a skater squat, or rear foot elevated split squatt (RFESS) is where she wants to go.

I'm the person who suggested the critical nature of timing things, and I say that again. If she does any of the sprinting listed it'll be great, but without timing it you'll have no idea how she's doing.

Here are two videos on the same workout, the Atomic Sprint Workout by Tony Holler. The name is to convey the efficiency with which a speed workout can be done. I think what the LLM gave you is fine, but consider this at least once a week. He also has an "X Factor" workout that your daughter to do on the lower output (aka "off") days.
