It wasn’t the finish we all wanted, but Karissa Schweizer went out and did us all proud in her first Olympic final.
Former #Mizzou star Karissa Schweizer comes in 11th place in the 5K with a time of 14:55. She was the first American across the finish line. What a debut! She’ll compete again in the 10k in a few days.

Schweizer was the first American to finish the race, a few spots ahead of one of her club running teammates.
