While she attempted to qualify for the 2021 games, an unfortunate collision with a hurdle resulted in a broken bone in her foot, dashing her Tokyo dreams.

However, Hall did not let this setback define her career. In a 2023 interview, she reflected on the injury as a turning point that ultimately propelled her to greater success.

Following her recovery, Hall went on to secure indoor and outdoor NCAA titles, earning praise from two-time Olympic heptathlete champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

Hall’s resilience and determination have not gone unnoticed, as she recently won the heptathlon at the trials in Eugene, Oregon, securing her spot in the highly anticipated 2024 Paris Olympics.
