Continued Harassment Of Sweeney

"The most recent post is an obvious personal attack against Sweeney to smear his image and discredit the outpouring of support for him after discovering this site, much like the initial posts from back in the fall. In fact, all of those crude and profane "reviews" with horrible accusations were made well after he made his decision to relocate closer to his family, so I'm not even sure why this page is still up. It's truly awful continuing to spread such gross things and making recklessly false statements about his personal life. He's not even coaching at all, he's literally working at a wildlife sanctuary helping rescue animals and this is what you're spending your time and energy on. Just shameful behavior, and I assume this site will clean things up and not allow this continued harassment."

"The posts since April 2026 are obvious fakes. This guy is a manipulative scumbag who should not be coaching, especially females. Guaranteed that he has nobody from Lamar's staff is listed as a reference. This guy should not be allowed near female athletes ever again. Consider this a warning."

"Can’t believe some of the nonsense people say, this is a great dude that truly cares and treated everyone kindly. My running career wasn’t perfect but I wouldn’t have it any other way because it gave me the best memories. Sweeney was a big reason for that and nobody ever had a negative thing to say in all his years here. Very grateful we still keep in touch!"

"Sweendog was the best, only complaint is he was too nice on us sometimes when really we needed someone to just tell us how it is or to put his foot down with certain people lol. But that’s also why everyone loved him so much, since you knew he actually cared about your well being and not just running."

He continues to be a source of kindness and positivity for myself but also for really anyone who knows him!"

"Everyone got a lot faster and the team had a lot of success, but he also reminded everyone it’s just running fast in circles and winning didn’t matter if we weren’t having fun. Every time we went to meets all the coaches on other teams were always going up talking to him, it’s like he never met someone who wasn’t his friend lol. But he talked to everybody one at a time after each race and made everyone feel important, and never made it about him bc he would constantly tell us it’s our team and to take ownership of it, he’s just one person. I’m glad he talked me out of quitting!!"

"I was lucky enough to have Sweeney as my counselor at running camp in 2019 and was bummed he stopped working any more camps after covid canceled it in 2020. That was the highlight of every year! He gave a lot of wisdom in the education classes, especially when it came to mentally handling injuries and dealing with race day stresses. The best part was when he'd talk about it not mattering how fast or slow you were, the sport is just about becoming the best version of ourselves and not to compare to others. That really stuck with me and even when I went to college and reached out for advice he always helped. I ended up inspired to get into coaching too after college and applied for a graduate assistant job, he called the head coach and helped me get it!"

He continues to have a positive impact on my life, and I know he does the same for many others who competed for him."

"Has had $exual intercourse with his current athlete at the time. Admitted to liking her based on her roster photo from high school before she even came onto the team. Cheated on his wife to be with her. Was also $exually texting a high schooler before this. Also has taken $exual videos and images and sent them to athletes. "
