Anna Hall is the only woman to break the 6700-points mark in the Heptathlon. She is also the only woman to run under 55 seconds in the 400m hurdles. The American heptathlete has a 50.82 second personal best in the 400m.

The 22-year-old is a three-time U.S. National Champion and won two NCAA Division I titles for the University of Florida. Hall now sets her goal to break Joy Kersee's world record of 7291 points, which she created in 1988, and become the first American woman after Kersee to win a world championship.

In a recent interview with USA Today, she expressed her excitement for competing in the mega event.

"I got chills thinking about it. It makes me feel really excited. It's really motivating," Hall said. "I want to be the first one since Jackie. I want to take on that spot of the next American to be able to do it. It's just really motivating. Sometimes I have to pinch myself," she continued.

Anna Hall's preferred event is the 800m and her least favorite is the javelin throw. Hall aims at winning a gold medal in Budapest.

"I'm talking about I'm trying to win gold at worlds. I love the big stages. The bigger the stage the more fun the meet is for me and the more I can bring out of myself. I'm really looking forward to it," Hall expressed.

"It's super, super technical. It doesn't feel super natural," she said about the javelin throw. "That event's been my biggest weak point."

Hall will be competing in Budapest as the World No. 1 heptathlete.
