Keith Charles Trask (born 27 November 1960) is a former New Zealand
rower who won an Olympic gold medal at the
1984 Summer Olympics in
Los Angeles .
Early life
Trask was born in 1960 in
Hastings , New Zealand.
[1] Trask has a twin brother Paul. Their parents are Charles (died 2015) and Maureen Trask.
[2] They received their education in
Hastings ; first at Mayfair School and then at Hastings Intermediate.
[2]
Rowing career
Trask was selected to compete at the
1980 Summer Olympics in
Moscow with the coxed four but did not compete due to the
Olympics boycott .
[3] He believes that he missed out being selected for the New Zealand eight in 1982 despite being "good enough to be there"; the team went on to win gold at the
1982 World Rowing Championships at
Rotsee in Switzerland without him.
[2] In 1983, he moved from the
Hawke's Bay to
Auckland so that he could join the
North Shore Rowing Club to increase his chances to get picked for a national team.
[2]
In 1983 the crew of
Conrad Robertson ,
Greg Johnston , Keith Trask,
Les O'Connell , and
Brett Hollister (cox) won the coxed four in
Duisburg at the
World Championships .
[4] Along with Les O'Connell,
Shane O'Brien and Conrad Robertson he won gold in the
coxless four at the
1984 Olympics at
Lake Casitas in California.
[5] In 1986, Trask teamed with
Eric Verdonk for the pairs and became New Zealand national champion.
[2]
He later was a rowing coach for the North Shore Rowing Club, and currently coaches at
Westlake Boys High School .
[3]
Family and later activities
Trask is married to Serena, and they have three children (one son and two daughters) born between 1984 and 1987. They live in
Auckland , where Trask works as a carpenter.
[2] He became self employed in 1999 when he founded his company, Keith Trask Limited.
[6] In 2009, he competed in ocean swimming.
