“400M Diva”
NATASHA’S STORY Natasha Monique Hastings is an American track and field Sprinter, Olympic gold medalist, and world class athlete from New York.” At the age of 22 the 400M specialist made her first appearance with the USA Olympic track and field team, and in 2008 won an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 4 x400M relay. Despite her early success, the years following the ‘08 Olympics proved to be a trying time for the young athlete, and after a series of disappointments on the track she fell short on making the 2012 Olympic team. Natasha was able to refocus her efforts and went on to achieve successful career results immediately following the 2012 Olympics. She finished the 2013 outdoor season on top as the U.S. National Champion, and in 2014, a 3rd place finish at the U.S. outdoor national championships signified that possessed the capacity to perform consistently at a high level in her specialty.
Natasha attended the University of South Carolina where she earned a degree in Exercise Science. She won both indoor and outdoor championships her junior year and set the collegiate records at that time. After jokingly describing the ladies’ track team of her alma mater as the “Gamecock Divas” in reference to the school’s Gamecock mascot, her fan base labeled her as the 400M Diva. The “400M Diva” nickname continues to stick throughout her career to this day.
In 2013, Natasha became the U.S. National Outdoor Champion over the 400M, finishing the season ranked # 1 in the US, and #4 in the world. She was also a silver medalist in the 4x400M relay at the 2013 World Championships. In 2014, she held the World Indoor and American Indoor record, and was a gold medalist in the 4x400M event at the World Relays. She then went on to place 3rd at the U.S. National Championships. In 2015, she became the 300M World Indoor Champion, winning the event in a personal best time. At the 2015 World Relays held in the Bahamas, Natasha and her teammates won gold in the 4x400M event helping team USA win the Golden Baton. Additionally, Natasha has been an excellent relay runner for the USA having earned four major medals in the Olympics and collective World Championships over the years. There is no doubt that she will continue to strive for excellence while preparing for her quest for gold in Rio at the 2016 Olympics.
