Hall’s athletic accomplishments

Though she began running track at the age of 7, Hall turned pro in 2022 when she signed with Adidas. She was 21 years old at the time. Hall started her collegiate track career with the University of Georgia but ended up transferring to the University of Florida ahead of the ’22 season. While at UF, Hall helped lead the track team to the school’s first NCAA women’s outdoor team championship title.

Hall is a two-time World Champion, having earned a bronze medal in the heptathlon event in 2022 and a silver medal in 2023. Though Hall was on track to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, an ankle injury put a quick end to her Olympic debut and required a long period of recovery.

Three years later, Hall made her Olympic debut this summer at the Paris games, where she finished fifth overall in the women’s heptathlon, earning a total of 6,615 points. Her journey to this year’s Olympics was not without hardship, either, as Hall suffered a knee injury in January that required surgery and yet another period of recovery prior to the Olympic trials in June.
