The 5-foot junior raced to the individual state championship this past season with a time of 18:08.6. Schwartz also earned victories at the Baron Classic, the Flashrock Invitational and the New Haven Invitational, as well as the Sectional, Regional and Semi-state championships. She finished fifth at the Nike Cross Nationals Midwest Regional championships and was 31st nationally at the NXN Final.
Schwartz has maintained a B average in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
Schwartz has volunteered locally on behalf of youth running programs. "Tyler is the definition of hard work that our program strives for," said DeKalb coach Wade Buchs. "There's no quit in her, and that is ultimately what makes her so successful."
