A football is thrown toward a receiver with and initial speed of 20 m/s, at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. At the instant, the receiver is 20 meters from the quarterback. In what direction and with what constant speed should the receiver run in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown?

After watching Eastern Idaho Vandal football as of late, I feel we will never figure this out. Too complicated.
