One of the top divers in both NCAA and American history, Wilkinson claimed two NCAA platform titles and six All-America honors in her three-year collegiate career. The 1999 Big 12 Conference Women’s Diver of the Year, she won the NCAA platform championship as a freshman in 1997 and again as a junior in 1999 before turning professional. Wilkinson flourished in international competition, competing in three Olympiads and four FINA World Championship events. Her international career was highlighted by winning the gold medal on the platform at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Wilkinson also claimed gold medals on the platform at the 2004 FINA World Cup and the 2005 FINA World Championships, and she remains the only woman to win platform titles at each of the three major world championships. A three-time USA Diving Athlete of the Year selection and two-time finalist for the Sullivan Award (nation’s top amateur athlete), Wilkinson claimed a total of 19 U.S. National Championships and was a 14-time member of the U.S. National Team. She retired from diving as one of the sport’s most decorated athletes after placing ninth on the platform at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Wilkinson earned her bachelor’s degree in public relations in December of 2001 and currently resides with her husband, Eriek Hulseman, in The Woodlands, Texas.
