Hall of Fame
Dusty (Walston) Hatt is one of the most decorated Aqualopers in school-history. The Kansan left with school-records (six and 11 dives) on both the 1 and 3-meter boards and is one of only three swimmers or divers to earn Division II All-American status.Â
Â
Battling injuries throughout her career and learning to dive off the 3-meter board once she got to UNK, Hatt was an NCAA Championships qualifier on both boards between 2000-02. She missed the 2001 national meet due to injury but came back to earn All-American status at 3-meters in 2002. At the NCAA Championships, she and her fellow divers first had to go through an elimination round before a finals round later in the meet.
She has remained involved with diving, coaching at several high schools and currently is the assistant dive coach for the Nebraska Diving Club and at Lincoln Pius X.
Hatt currently lives in Lincoln with her husband, Ryan, and their children, David and Devri, both of whom are nationally-ranked divers. She is the Director of Pilates, Genesis Health Clubs.
