THIS IS THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST
WITH JON ACKERMAN, FEATURING ANNA HALL

Anna Hall is a 23-year-old heptathlete competing for the United States and looking to make her Olympic debut this summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She won the heptathlon silver medal at the 2023 World Championships, and the bronze medal at the 2022 World Championships. Those medals — along with her score of 6,988 points at an event in Austria, which was the world’s best heptathlon score in 2023, and the fifth-highest all time — have her as a leading medal contender for the Olympics.

Hall will compete at the 2024 U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials on June 23-24 to earn her berth to represent the United States at the Paris Games (July 26-Aug. 11).

Today on the podcast, we talk to Anna Hall about her Olympic dream, how she became a heptathlete, growing in her faith, overcoming injuries, and staying connected to God.
