David Larson

Age: 30

Resides: Covington

Profession: Principal, Covington Schools

Our Athlete of the Month for July is someone who is truly a great guy and has been a running great in Dayton for several years. I don't know a ton about him because he is too fast for me to catch him to have a conversation, but it became very apparent to me this morning in Covington that David Larson, or Mr. Larson as I heard people calling him, was very well respected and admired in Covington. Today's race was the third annual Covington COA 5k and Dave has won all three races! Mr. Larson is also the principal for Covington Schools.

Dave runs on the Alliance Running team. He coached and taught in Tipp City but recently returned home to Covington to become Principal. It was pretty special today seeing the Covington runners try to hang with their hometown hero this morning.

Congratulations Mr. Larson on not only being a great runner and winning the COA race three consecutive years, but also on being a role model for the youngsters in his community.
