Former Duck Jessica Hull wins first ever World Championship medal for Australia in 1500m

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — University of Oregon alum and international track star Jessica Hull claimed bronze on Tuesday in the 1500 meters and made Australian history at the World Championships in Tokyo.

The two-time NCAA Champion won the first-ever World medal for her country in the event with a third-place finish. Hull’s time of 3:55.16 gives her another top-three global finish coming off her silver-medal performance at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

During her time in Eugene, Hull was a three-time All-American and a two-time NCAA Champion.

Hull was joined by recent Oregon grad Klaudia Kazimierska in the race, who ended in seventh place at her first-ever World Championships with a lifetime best of 3:57.95.

The competition will continue through the end of the week. Here is the remaining Broadcast Schedule.
