Athlete of the week
Contributed by: YourHub.com on 5/31/2006

Name: Kevin F. Sweeny.

Hometown: Vero Beach.

Age: 36.

Occupation: Chief legislative aide for Rep. Stan Mayfield.

Sport: Running.

Athletic accomplishments:

Second place at the Friends of Louie 5k in Stuart May 22.

1:22 half marathon this year in Tallahassee.

I have also completed 7 marathons, even doing Boston twice and I have automatically qualified for the New York City marathon this year.

I claimed a personal record in the 15k (57:44) enroute to leading my team to the Mixed Team National 15k championship.

I once won two races out in Lubbock, Texas, winning a race will probably never happen again, so I am pretty proud of winning those two races.

Favorite professional teams: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Boston

Red Sox. However, my favorite "team" would be all the teams

from my alma mater, the University of Florida.

Favorite athletes: Meb Keflezighi, Jen Rhines, and my sister

Deborah McGuire. She is the reason why I started running.

Quote: "Shut up and run." Sally Hawes
