Testimonials

"From the beginning of my collegiate career, Syverson was a dedicated and supportive coach. He was able to help me gain the confidence needed to be a strong and fierce competitor in each and every event I tackled. Syverson was there to celebrate my accomplishments, as well as point out areas to improve upon. With his guidance I was able to develop my form, consistently finish my races strong, and push through tough areas in a race, where I had previously struggled. With his years of experience and passion for track and field, he is able to help his athletes break records and reach their own personal bests."

"Over the course of three years training under Keven’s coaching, I went from being an average middle-distance runner to being able to compete against the top talent within the Division III level of the NCAA."

~ Jared Brandenburg

"When I began my college running career, I didn’t know what to expect. I had minimal running experience and knowledge of the sport. I became a 6-time All American in college under his coaching. Apart from results and records, he was a fantastic coach."

~ Nick Zeien

" If you have a soft spot for 80’s rock, triceps dips and German cuisine, you’ve found the right coach."

~ Scott Degner

""Syvs” coached me for the entirety of my collegiate track career. His honesty and knowledge of the sport gained my trust and respect immediately. His tell-it-like-it-is coaching style helped me gain confidence in my ability as a runner."

""I sincerely appreciate your time and effort in making me a better athlete. I deeply value the time we have spent together over these past couple of years. (2021-2023) I wouldn't be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without your support. Looking back on all the mental fortitude you put forth in everything from customized running schedules that were best fit for my body, or words of wisdom that would help me stay strong throughout training! I very well know that you want what is best for every athlete and will push them to reach their full potential!."

~ JJ Williams

"Coach Syverson's guidance always led to consistent, steady progress. However, what impressed me the most were the individualized racing tactics and confidence his student-athletes carried with them through the finish line of every race!"
