David Walker was a 1983 All-American, where he ran the anchor leg for TCU's National Champion 4x400m relay team. He was also a member of the 4x100m relay team that finished in fourth-place that same year.
 
Walker's 4x400m relay team ran a time of 3:02.09 to win the National Championship, as well as set a new school record in the event – a record that still remains today.
 
An All-Southwest Conference honoree for the Horned Frogs from 1979-83, Walker was invited to the Olympic Trials in 1980, where he qualified for the team, but his Olympic dream fell short as the games were boycotted by the USA.
 
Walker was inducted into the Hall of Fame as 2024's Vintage Honoree, and he became the 35th men's track & field athlete inducted into the TCU Hall of Fame.
