"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!"

"Extremely talented teacher. Builds trust and has a genuine interest in his players and the teams success. The best. His players love him."

"He is the most dedicated and driven person I know. He loves coaching and has high expectation for the team. He is very kind and respectful but over all an excellent human being. "

"Very relaxed coach, with huge support on and off the field"
