All hat for sure lol the guy never takes his off. Kinda insane to pretend he didn’t get results tho, I didn’t run the times I wanted but our team won a crazy amount of conference titles and had ppl making ncaas every szn. Now we suck again :’) new guy is chill tho ig. Stop the cap making up terrible stuff ab Sweeney, it’s a bad look to still be trying to ruin someone’s reputation 2 years after he left for another job when we know u just got personal issues and wanna take it out on others.

All hat, no cattle. He is a used car salesman. He talks so much that he makes you think he knows what he is talking about, but it's all hot air. Plus all the inappropriateness with young athletes. He's a groomer.

Former coworker of his who spent years together. Never once had any issues (except when he’d push for more scholarship / travel money for distance lol). Team loved him (all event groups really) and was sad when he left.

If people want to hear from any of us who actually ran for Sweeny then honestly feel free to reach out to someone directly bc these posts are crazy. Anyone can tell you he has a heart of gold and had a great impact on us as runners and ppl. It’s embarassing that someone would use their personal issues to make a bunch of posts attacking someone’s reputation. We all know who you are btw and hope your consciense keeps you up.
