Anna Hall shared glimpses of her pet dog as they welcomed the holiday season together. Hall had a successful 2024 season, finishing fifth in the heptathlon at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Having turned professional in 2022, Hall started her journey with a North American pentathlon record at the 2023 USATF Indoor Championships. She moved to second place on the all-time list as the third female athlete in history to achieve 5000 points or more. Her momentum continued at the Hypo-Meeting in Gotzis, recording personal best times in five events in the heptathlon.
Hall missed the Tokyo Olympics because of an injury but made up for the setback in Paris. Months after her 2024 Summer Olympic stint, the 23-year-old shared glimpses of her life beyond the track, spending quality time with her pet dog during the Christmas holidays.
Trending
On December 18, 2024, Hall shared a series of stories featuring her pet dog, Cross. In the first story, the dog wore reindeer years and looked adorably at the Olympian.
"Cross update if you care. Still not loving the years," the caption read.
The following had the dog lying on the floor, looking over the Christmas tree.
"He swears he works a 9-5," Hall hilariously captioned.
The next was a throwback picture, followed by Cross sitting and posing on the track.
"Saturdays at the track are his favorite."
Cross was then seen napping inside the car after a day on the track practice, followed by a picture in the sunset.
Anna Hall revealed that she would host her parents during Christmas
Anna Hall took to her Instagram stories on December 16, offering a sneak peek into her pre-Christmas rituals. In her first story, the World Championships silver medalist shared a snap of the presents, socks, and the decorated Christmas tree.
"Hosting my parents for Christmas next week," her caption read.
The next story had a couple of freshly wrapped gifts with the caption:
"Taking wrapping duty seriously."
Hall had a successful NCAA career, competing for the University of Georgia and then transferring to the University of Florida. At the 2022 NCAA Division I Championships, Hall claimed indoor and outdoor titles in the pentathlon and heptathlon.
The same year, her performances helped the Gators win their first-ever NCAA Outdoor team title and their first women's NCAA Indoor team title in three decades.
