Nathaniel James Dusing (born November 25, 1978) is an American former competition swimmer, Olympic medalist, and world champion.

Education

[edit]

Dusing won six swimming state championships for Covington Catholic High School before graduating in 1997.[1][2] That year, he was the top national recruit after finishing as the top national prep swimmer in both the 100 Backstroke and 100 Butterfly, setting a national High School record in the latter. His 100 Butterfly time of 47.10 would stand as the national High School record until 2009. He then went on to swim for the University of Texas where he would excell all 4 years, winning 11 NCAA titles (relays and individual combined), and setting the NCAA record in the 200 Yard Individual Medley as a senior in 2001.

Swimming

[edit]

Dusing represented the United States at two consecutive Summer Olympics. At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he earned a silver medal by swimming for the second-place U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.[3] Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, he received a bronze medal by swimming for the third-place U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay.[4]

He was also a member of gold medal-winning U.S. relay teams in the 4×100-meter freestyle at the 2005 World Aquatics Championships,[5] and the 2004 World Short Course Championships.[6]

Now that Meyer has erased Ryan's record, the oldest boys' regional standards belong to two-time Olympic medalist Nate Dusing, who swam for CovCath. Dusing still holds two regional marks, the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, both set in 1997.
