Listing Info
from the World Class Racewalking web site
Dave McGovern is the most experienced and productive race walking coach and clinician in the US, and perhaps the world. A 25-year veteran of the US National Racewalk Team with a master's degree in sport science from the United States Sports Academy, Dave has conducted some 20 clinics and camps per year throughout North American as well as Europe, and South and Equatorial Africa, since 1991.
During his 28-year competitive career Dave has won 14 U.S. National Championships and walked 20 kilometers (12.4 miles one of the two Olympic distances for men) in 1:24:29 - 6:48 per-mile pace which ranks him as the fastest American ever to not make an Olympic Team. A member of 20 International Teams, including seven World Cup and six PanAm Cup teams, Dave is the only track and field athlete in US history to qualify for seven (2016 update: make that eight) consecutive Olympic Trials! Still competing at a high level at the age of 45, Dave won the 2010 USA Track and Field 30-Kilometer Championship, and was the overall Race Walking Grand Prix Champion.
