so quickly

Hello. Could you clear up the confusion about the following sentence?

- He runs...... runner that he is the first contender for the gold medal.

(so quickly - so quick a - such a quick - such quickly)

Thank you.

Thank you.

'Run' here is intransitive. That means it doesn't take an object. I think 'runner' here is a typo. You can say:

- He runs so quickly that he ........

- He is such a quick runner that he ........

- He is so quick a runner that he ........
