Anna Hall on pace to SMASH the Collegiate Heptathlon Record

broken rec0rd wrote:

She's had a personal best in 2 of the first 3 events. Her score is 140 points ahead of her score through 3 at USATF championships (she was only about 70 points off the collegiate record there).

If she has a chance to break the collegiate record heading into the 800 - will her coach tell her to go for it? She has the 400h final 20 minutes after the 800 and Florida should be in contention for a team title. Does she send it in the 800 for the record or does she run easy so she can bounce back and score well in the 400h? She should have a big lead heading into the 8 and won't need to run 100%.

She's going to run the 800m as slow as she can.

Tyra Gittens could have broke it if she didn’t listen to her Texas coaches who told her that it’s hurting her career!

Cannot overestimate Miss Hall’s potential. So, I’m just gonna sit back over the next 6-8 years and watch this phenom evolve!

The Heptathlon 800 is AFTER the 400 hurdles. You have it backwards.

Hall said that she will go 100% in the 400 hurdles, and THEN 16 minutes later go 100% in the 800, and her heptathlon score will be whatever it is.

We'll have to wait and see if she actually sticks to that plan.

She also may be needed to run a leg on the 4 x 400m if the team title is still in play. That's why she's going to run the 800m as slow as she can or needs to to win the event.

She's possibly talented enough to beat Athing Mu in the 800 and Syd in the 400h if she trained exclusively for those events. The world record in the hep is just insane.
