A standout sprinter from St. Thomas Aquinas High School (2008–2012), Arman Hall is recognized as one of the most accomplished track and field athletes in Florida high school history. During his four years with the Raiders, Hall helped lead his team to four consecutive FHSAA Track and Field State Championships, while also guiding St. Thomas Aquinas to the 2011 ESPN National High School Track and Field Championship.

Individually, Hall’s dominance was unmatched. As a junior, he captured state titles in the 200 and 400 meters, won both events at the prestigious Bob Hayes Invitational, and later claimed gold medals in the 400 meters and Sprint Medley Relay at the World Youth Championships. That season, he also recorded the nation’s fastest high school times in both the 200 and 400 meters. His senior year was equally impressive, as he swept the 200, 400, and 4x400 relay at the state championships and was named the 2012 Florida Gatorade Track and Field Male Athlete of the Year.

On the international stage, Hall continued to shine. At the 2011 World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, he earned gold medals in the 400 meters, 4x100 relay, and 4x400 relay, with his 400-meter time of 45.39 ranking among the fastest ever run by a Florida high schooler.

Hall continued his career at the University of Florida, where he became a 3-time NCAA Champion, 10-time Outdoor All-American, and 7-time Indoor All-American. In 2014, he was honored as the SEC Men’s Indoor Runner of the Year after winning the SEC Commissioner’s Indoor Track Trophy, and that same year, he earned the U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association Indoor South Region Men’s Athlete of the Year award. During his time at the University of Florida, Hall was a member of the 2013 World Championships Men’s 4x400 relay that won the gold medal in Moscow, Russia. He also won the 2016 NCAA Outdoor 400 meters championship while helping the Gators capture the 2012 and 2016 NCAA Outdoor Team Championships.

On the world stage, Hall made history in 2014 when, at just 19 years old, he won a gold medal at the IAAF World Championships, becoming the youngest American male ever to do so. His career reached its pinnacle at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where he ran the leadoff leg for the United States’ gold medal-winning 4x400 meter relay team alongside Tony McQuay, Gil Roberts, and LaShawn Merritt.

Following his competitive career, Hall transitioned to coaching, where his impact has been immediate. In 2021–22, he led Miami Killian High School to its first FHSAA state championship in more than 15 years, highlighted by a 4x100 relay state title. In 2023, he joined New Mexico Junior College as the Assistant Sprints and Hurdles Coach for both the men’s and women’s teams, guiding both programs to NJCAA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships.

Hall’s remarkable achievements have been recognized beyond the track. He was named one of the Gainesville Sun’s “35 of the Best Black Athletes Born in Florida” in 2022 and was inducted into the Bob Hayes Track Meet Hall of Fame Class of 2024. From his record-breaking high school career to his Olympic triumph and emerging success as a coach, Arman Hall’s legacy continues to inspire student-athletes in Florida and beyond.
