Jessica Hull
Jessica Hull (born 22 October 1996) is an Australian middle and long distance runner. She is an Olympic silver medallist and World Championships bronze medallist in the 1500 metres, and a World Indoor Championships bronze medallist in the 3000 metres. Hull won the silver medal in the 1500 m event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and the bronze medal in the 1500 m event at the 2025 World Championships and the 3000 m event at the 2025 World Indoor Championships. Hull is also a World Cross Country Championships bronze medallist in the mixed relay and four-time national champion for Australia, with two titles each in the 1500 m and 5000 metres. She graduated from the University of Oregon, where she was a two-time individual NCAA Division I champion, and has run professionally for Nike since 2019.
In July 2024, Hull set a world record in the 2000 metres, with a time of 5:19.70. She is also the Oceanian record holder for the indoor and outdoor 1500 m, indoor and outdoor mile, and outdoor 800 metres and 3000 metres. Her Oceanian record of 3:50.83 in the 1500 m was the 5th-fastest all-time performance in the event.
Hull was born in Wollongong. She grew up in Albion Park and began running cross-country and athletics carnivals at school aged eight. She also played soccer until the age of fourteen. Her training was initially guided by her father, Simon, who had been a national level middle-distance runner.[citation needed]
Hull won the under-17 1500 metres at the 2012 Australian Athletics Championships with a time of 4:28.11. The 17-year-old made her international debut at the 2014 World U20 Championships held in Eugene, Oregon, where she finished seventh in the 3000 metres in a personal best time of 9:08.85.
Hull won the 1500 m at the 2015 Australian Junior Championships, when she also finished third in the 800 m. She placed 69th in the women's junior race at the World Cross Country Championships that year with a time of 23:11.
After high school, Hull went to the United States where she studied at University of Oregon, completing a degree in human physiology. As a student-athlete, she represented the Oregon Ducks. She was coached by Maurica Powell for three years and Helen Lehman-Winters in her senior year.
Hull was the NCAA Division I indoor 3000 m bronze medallist in 2018, and over the next two years, added six podium finishes on the indoor and outdoor track and in cross country, including four collegiate titles. She was the individual NCAA champion in the 1500 m in 2018 and in the indoor 3000 m in 2019, earning seven All-American honors.
In July 2019, Hull signed with Nike and joined the now-defunct Nike Oregon Project. In her senior international debut at the 2019 World Athletics Championships hosted in Doha, Qatar, she narrowly missed the 1500 m final. Her personal best time of 4:01.80 was the fastest non-qualifying time for the final ever at a world championships or Olympics.
