Nathaniel Page (born January 26, 1957)[1] is an American former track and field athlete who began as a high jumper before concentrating on the 400 meters hurdles. He finished second in the high jump with 2.23 meters at the 1980 U.S. Olympic Trials, to qualify for the Moscow Olympics, which the American team boycotted.
Page married Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey in February 1984. The couple divorced in 1987. His high jump best is 2.29 meters indoors, set in February 1981 in New York. His outdoor best is 2.28 meters, set in Brussels in August 1981. His 400 meters hurdles best of 48.75 secs was set in Verona in September 1989. He reached the 400m hurdles final at the U.S. Championships in seven out of eight years between 1985 and 1992 (he didn't compete in 1988). He was inducted into the University of Missouri Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999.[2]
