Danny Goodwin

***Hometown: McAllen, Texas***

***High School: McAllen High (’85)***

***College: Southern Methodist University***

***Best known for: Swimming***
Goodwin won two gold, two silver, and one bronze medal at the state swimming meet for McAllen High in the 1980s. He qualified for the state meet four times and medaled each year for the Bulldogs. He later became an All-American swimmer at Southern Methodist University in 1986 and 1988.
“One of the races I remember fondly was the finals of the 500 freestyle at the state high school meet my sophomore year. Breaking into the last turn with 50 yards to go, I was a couple seconds behind the leader, but I knew he was tiring. I put everything into the last lap and passed him a few yards out from the finish to win my first state high school championship.”
He is the first swimming athlete to be inducted into the RGV Sports Hall of Fame. Two others inducted for swimming were coaches.
“I'm honored to represent my sport,” he said.
