She finished fifth by clocking the second-fastest time in school history (1:00.16) in the final. Hall also grabbed a fifth-place finish in the 200 breaststroke, finishing in 2:10.90. 

She went on to clock a career-best in the event during a time trial at the Mizzou Last Chance Meet. Her time of 2:09.87 was also the No. 2 time in Husker history. Hall picked up two NCAA B cuts at the Hawkeye Invitational. She qualified for the A final in the 100 breaststroke (1:01.84) before notching her first NCAA B cut of the season and shaved off a few seconds in the finals for a second-place finish, earning her first B cut of the season (1:01.20).

Hall finished 12th in the 200 breaststroke and 13th in the 100 breaststroke. Her 100 breaststroke prelims time of 1:00.98 put her at fourth on Nebraska’s all-time list and her 200 breaststroke prelims time of 2:11.72 was the fifth-fastest in Nebraska history.
