"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."

"such a nice guy and knows so much about the sport. somehow seems to know everyone in the running world, and it’s obvious how well liked and respected he is! never makes you feel overlooked or like he isn’t invested in your success and wellness. just an all around great coach and person!"

"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!"

"sweeny the goat bro, wasn’t even my actual coach bc i don’t run long distance but he made time to hype up the sprints and field athletes and lowkey had the best energy on the staff. some people really tried to trash him bc he decided to move on, but he a real one who always got us and shows love to everyone fr."

"I couldn’t have asked for a better coach, because even aside from running I don’t know anyone else who spends more energy on supporting and encouraging others and celebrating their achievements. He continues to be a source of kindness and positivity for myself but also for really anyone who knows him!"

"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!"
