She runs tonight at 7:35 pm on the home track. Can easily be viewed from the left field or third base side top row of the Baseball bleachers if you want to take in both events.
People who aren't track guys may have a hard time realizing just how special of an athlete this young lady really is.
Besides all the National titles (twice as many as any other Mizzou athlete in school history)...if she is successful tonight in getting the school record in the 1500m (a shorter race which she rarely runs)...it would make her 6th school record ranging from the 1500 all the way up to the 10,000m which shows remarkable range as well as talent.
It would be almost like a guy holding the school record for the 100m dash record...also holding the record for the mile...that just doesn't happen!
I know track creates very little buzz except once every for years in the Olympics...but if you are a sports fan and in the area...she is worth coming out to watch tonight

"Schweizer, the most decorated student-athlete in Mizzou history in terms of national titles, will be making her final race appearance in Columbia, as she looks to set the school record in the 1500m run at 7:35 p.m. on Friday. It would be Schweizer's sixth school record, as she already holds the program's top marks in the indoor mile run (4:27.54), indoor 3000m run (8:41.60 - collegiate record), indoor 5000m run (15:17.31), outdoor 5000m run (15:18.69) and outdoor 10,000m run (32:00.55).
