TOKYO—Anna Hall became America’s second winner of the world heptathlon title—joining Jackie Joyner-Kersee—by wrapping up a wire-to-wire endurance test and cruising into the finish line Saturday to celebrate her biggest victory.
It’s the first major title for Hall, one of the world’s most consistent performers in the seven-part event, after years of close calls and disappointments. She finished with 6,888 points.
