Anna Hall Ties for Second All-Time in Heptathlon Points

  • Anna Hall won the Hypo Meeting in Götzis, Austria, on June 1, 2025, scoring 7,032 points in the heptathlon to tie for second all-time.
  • Hall achieved this after recovering from complex knee surgery in January 2024 that threatened her Olympic prospects following a fifth-place finish in Paris.
  • She achieved new personal records in more than half of the seven events, highlighted by a 1.95-meter high jump that matched the height earned by the bronze medalist at the Paris Olympics.
  • Hall surpassed her previous best of 6,988 points from 2023 and now shares second place with Carolina Klüft on the all-time list, behind Jackie Joyner-Kersee's world record of 7,291.
  • Her return to competition opens the possibility of becoming only the second U.S. athlete to claim a world heptathlon championship, following in the footsteps of Joyner-Kersee and marking a key achievement in her athletic journey.
