Anna Hall Named Finalist for The Bowerman
Monday, June 27, 2022 | Track and Field
NEW ORLEANS, La. – Anna Hall was a SEC, NCAA and U.S. Champion during the 2022 Track and Field season.
Now she is named among the top athletes in collegiate track and field.
Anna Hall is a finalist for The Bowerman.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo. native turned in one of the most impressive all-around seasons this sport has ever seen.
Hall won two NCAA titles, one U.S. title, one SEC title and helped the Gators to the NCAA Outdoor Championship, SEC Outdoor Championship and NCAA Indoor Championship.
Along the way, Hall gave Track and Field fans some of the most memorable performances in recent memory, stretching the limits of what's physically possible in the sport.
She becomes Florida's second-ever woman's finalist (Yanis David, 2019) and the sixth athlete overall in Florida history (men and women) to be named a finalist for The Bowerman.
Hall's triumphs in the 2022 season began during the indoor campaign when she turned in back-to-back top-12 NCAA all-time performances in the Pentathlon to capture the SEC and NCAA Indoor Championships in the event.
The 4618 points she tallied at the SEC Indoor Championships made her the No. 4 collegian all-time in the Pentathlon.
Her triumphs during the indoor season were short-lived as the calendar switched to the outdoor season and the Texas Relays.
One of the few big meets with a Heptathlon competition, Hall was set to contest the seven-eventer in Austin just two weeks after the NCAA Indoor Championships.
She did not disappoint. All Hall did was drop the No. 4 score in collegiate history in the Heptathlon, tallying 6412 points to take the NCAA and World lead.
The following week, Hall debuted in the 400-meter hurdles and proceeded to shatter the school record in 55.25 at the Pepsi Florida Relays.
From there on, Hall only continued to grow as the outdoor season progressed.
She jumped a windy 6.74m/22-1.5 at the LSU Invitational to close out the regular season, an all-conditions personal best in the Long Jump for her.
With the USATF Combined Events Championships scheduled at the beginning of May, Hall was able to compete in the Heptathlon at both the USA Trials and the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
She came into the USATF Combined Events Championships among the favorites to advance to the World Championships but was just short of the world standard of 6420.
Hall proceeded to blow the field out of the water. She tallied 6458 points, closing out the competition with an American record in a Heptathlon 800 meters of 2:03.11.
That time was also the fourth-fastest mark ever put up in a Heptathlon in World History.
She cleared the world standard with room to spare and won the U.S. title, earning her place on her first senior team.
Just a week later, Hall went to the SEC Outdoor Championships and put up 12 team points without competing in her primary event.
Hall was second in the 400-meter hurdles and also competed in the Long Jump, grabbing fifth place and four team points.
The Gators won the SEC Outdoor Championship by four points.
She qualified automatically to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the Heptathlon with the top mark in the nation.
After a successful weekend at the NCAA East Prelims, Hall had her name entered in the Heptathlon, 400-meter hurdles and 4x400 relay.
Only one woman would dare to compete nine times over a three-day span.
That would be Anna Hall.
She opened the weekend by bettering her own school record in the 400-meter hurdles, dropping a 54.48 in the semifinals and advancing to the finals with the top mark.
On Friday, Hall contested the first four events of the Heptathlon. She dropped three personal bests including a collegiate record in a Heptathlon 200 meters of 23.13.
The following day, Hall set herself on collegiate record pace in the Heptathlon after the Long Jump and Javelin.
In a normal weekend, Hall would've gone for and gotten the collegiate record.
But, as the team player she is, Hall knew she scored in both the Heptathlon and 400-meter hurdles; sacrificing the collegiate record to score more team points.
Hall went and ran the finals of the 400-meter hurdles. She scored a National Runner-Up finish and eight team points for the team tally.
20 minutes later, Hall tested the limits of what is possible in sport.
She came right back out to the track to run the 800-meter portion of the Heptathlon. Hall ran 2:21.23, missing the collegiate record by 10 seconds, but won the Heptathlon with ease and added 10 points to the Gators.
With the team title in hand, Hall wasn't needed for the 4x400 relay and took the chance to recover from two-grueling races over a 20-minute span.
Hall is the only woman in collegiate history with a sub-55 time in the 400-meter hurdles and a score above 6000 in the Heptathlon.
She owns two of the seven collegiate event records in a Heptathlon (200m, 800m). During the course of this year's outdoor season, Hall tallied the No. 2, No. 5 and No. 7 best marks in collegiate history in the Heptathlon.
For fun, Hall is also the No. 14 performer in NCAA history in the 400-meter hurdles (54.48).
Hall will join Kentucky's Abby Steiner and California's Camryn Rogers this December 15 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center in Aurora, Colo. for The Bowerman Presentation.
She will next compete this July in the Heptathlon at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Ore.
