EUGENE, Ore. – Anna Hall’s season before the World Championships was enough to stand alone as one of the greatest all-around campaigns that a collegian has ever recorded.
On top of that, she decided to go out and shatter the all-dates collegiate record in the Heptathlon, picking up a World Championship Bronze Medal in the process on Monday evening.
Hall put on a phenomenal display in the two-day, seven-event Heptathlon competition, picking up a personal best 6755 points and a bronze medal at the 2022 World Championships.
Over the course of the seven events, Hall recorded three personal bests and a season’s best on top of outstanding displays in the 100mH, Long Jump and 800 meters.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo. native tallied 6755 points, shattering the legendary Jackie Joyner’s all-dates, all-time collegiate record set in 1985.
Her mark was also a personal best, the third-best mark in American history and the No. 24 mark all-time world history.
Let’s not forget: she’s only 21-years-old.
Hall becomes the first American woman to medal in the Heptathlon since 2001. When Shelia Burrell won Bronze in Edmonton in 2001, Hall wasn’t even five-months-old yet.
Her 2022 season now has finally concluded in a year that saw her contest 73 events, win four team titles, win two NCAA Championships, win one SEC Championship, win the U.S. title and win World Championship Bronze.
She was also named a finalist for The Bowerman, the winner set to be unveiled in December.
On the track, Joseph Fahnbulleh made his World Championship debut, running the opening heats of the 200 meters.
The Liberian and back-to-back NCAA Champion won his heat in 20.12, advancing automatically to tomorrow’s semifinals.
Gator Great Cory McGee was 10th in the 1500 meters, crossing the line in 4:03.70.
