He also won three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships, the national AAU title and the All Armed Forces title. He posted an overall collegiate record of 42-4. Govoni was Hancock's assistant in 1953 and went on to coach at the high school and college levels for many years. He was inducted into the Illinois Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in 1991.
