7/23/24 Track Coach Mike DeWitt

Mike DeWitt is a former All-American race walker- former coach of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside- and current coach of Case High School in Racine. The top three race walkers in women's race-walking at the most recent Olympic Trials were all coached at one time by DeWitt. Sadly, the U.S. track team will not be participating in race walking in the upcoming Olympic Games ..... the first time this has happened since 1904. DeWitt explains the factors that led to this. We also talk about the sport of race-walking itself and its challenges.
