Mainly competed in hurdling events. During the career, he won 6 Oceanian and 4 Pacific titles. Established 110H, 300H and 400H national records.
Wakit participated in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Unfortunately he developed shin splints, and was not able to perform to his best. A week prior to the Olympics, however, Ivan was in great form breaking his own National Record for the 400m Hurdles at a warm-up meet at Marietta, Georgia. (Note from Bob Snow, OA)
