“Ryan Schweizer is the best and most versatile distance runner I have seen come out of Iowa. He has the stamina to excel in the long-distance races and the speed to be a standout in long sprints and middle-distance races. He has been a tremendous leader for us. As good as he is, he has only scratched the surface of his potential.”
