Just on personal experience, I've seen moose, whitetail deer, a black bear, otters, and beavers in the water. Of that group I'd say the otters are by far the fastest swimmers and they're quick enough on land to hold off the others.

I'm gonna have to say wartortle, because he's faster than squirtle and blastoise.
Alligator. Definitely. Then it would eat the other competitors. Whole.
Bump.
This is a great two year old thread. Are we still no closer to the swimming speeds of pronghorn deer and the overland waddling speeds of penguins?
Honey badger would win because it don't give a #*@$
Great thread. Definitely a small/medium sized alligator or crocodile would win. That things can move and just look at how smoothly it transitions from land to water.

Fast forward to about a minute in to see its running form...
The answer is a sailfish. They can swim up to 68 mph, so if after the swim they jump out of the water at 45 degrees, they can cover 94 meters of the land portion on the first jump in under four seconds, then will easily bounce the next 6m. total time under 10 seconds.
QED

This is never going to happen one has never jumped out of the water that far and is certainly not stupid enough to do it on land
Flying fish maybe but everyone knows we are looking at something running on the land otherwise just pick a bird to fly over the water as well!
The op says on land not over it!
Crocodile is out because you read up there top speed but you never actually see them moving that fast. All those guys showing off with crocs on tv manage not to get caught
Got to be somewhere between some type of deer and a bear. A fast bear might catch a slow deer but it doesn't get the fast ones in the group so I would go for some sort of deer
Hmm maybe stick a tiger in there, good swimmer and fast over short distance.

Nope. Croc's would almost certainly win. As a poster a few posts up showed, check this out:
