Amy Hastings is an American track and field athlete, specializing in long distance running events. She is the 2012 American champion in the 10,000 metres and a qualifier for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Earlier in 2012, she finished in fourth place in the United States Marathon Olympic Trials. "I cried about it probably every day for a month. But at the same time, every single day it was getting back into it and going to work and trying to recover and doing everything right to prepare myself for this day." She was an Arizona State University teammate of Desiree Davila, the qualifying second place finisher in that same race. Running for ASU, Hastings had been the 2005 NCAA Indoor Champion in the 5,000 metres. Hastings went to high school at Leavenworth High School in Leavenworth, Kansas. During her career, she captured three state titles on the track and won the state cross country championships. Sponsored by Brooks, 2011 was her breakthrough year. She knocked 34 seconds off her previous results in the 5,000 metres, to become runner up at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 15:14.31.
