Karissa Schweizer, arguably the best individual athlete in Mizzou Athletics of all-time, participated in the 5,000m finals on Monday night at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon.

The six-time National Champion is now a two-time Olympian — adding to her decorated resume. Schweizer finished third in the 5,000m punching her ticket to the Paris Olympics in July.
