Donna Chamberlain of Dallas recently finished fifth in the Road to Sydney
20K/30K race at the ARCO Olympic Training Facility in Chula Vista, Calif.
The 43-year-old, who will compete in the trials in July in Sacramento,
Calif., finished the 20K racewalk in 1:54:7. Her goal, going into the race was
to break two hours.
Racing in her first international race, Chamberlain competed against
racewalkers from Mexico, China, Ecuador and Denmark, as well as members from
the U.S. National Racewalking Team.
Yueling Chen of China, who is attempting to get American citizenship so she
can compete for the United States at the trials, won the race, finishing in

time.
Chamberlain, who spent 10 days at the facility, trained daily with U.S.
National Team coach Enrique Pena.
