Arman “Gino” Hall joined the Arizona State track and field staff as an assistant sprints coach in June 2023 under Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Dion Miller. Hall was a three-time NCAA champion and 17-time All-American for the Florida Gators and earned a gold medal in the men’s 4x400 at Rio 2016 while running for Team USA. Prior to ASU, Hall coached for one season at New Mexico Junior College where he earned 2023 NJCAA National Assistant Women’s Coach of the Year honors from the USTFCCCA. Prior to NMJC, Hall worked at Arizona State from 2019-2021 as an assistant volunteer sprints coach under Miller.
Hall's hiring rounded out a one-year hiring spree that brought in four-time USA gold medalist Ryan Whiting ‘10, nine-year veteran coach Phillip Butler Jr., and Cross Country head coach Ryan Ray.

“I’m definitely excited to add Arman to our coaching staff,” Miller said. “He comes with a wealth of experience in being an Olympian, an NCAA champion, and a phenomenal coach coming from New Mexico Junior College where he was Coach of the Year. He’ll coach the men’s short sprints and will be a great addition to our staff. We’re very excited for him to get started.”
“I’m excited to be joining Arizona State,” Hall said. “It’s a surreal feeling because while I was coaching there for two years, I was also being coached by Coach Miller. It’s a huge honor that he’s given me this opportunity and I don’t want to let him down. I want to do the best I can to help the student-athletes and I want to be the best person I can be for everyone there.”
In 2023-24, Hall helped maintain the Sun Devil sprints room as one of the country's most loaded groups. The Men's 200m and 400m groups were considered a top-10 event squad all season, as ranked by the USTFCCA. Hall helped a number of Sun Devils to personal-bests and program-records, including Kaleb Simpson, who holds the Men's 100m record under all conditions (10.09) and Adriana Tatum, who set new records in both the 100m (11.01) and 200m (22.36). Simpson and Justin Robinson now share the seventh-best 200m time in team history at 20.37, times they both hit this season.
With 11 national qualifiers, Tatum was the only Sun Devil to reach the NCAA Championships in multiple events, as she competed in both the 100m and 200m at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Simpson, like Hall, thrived in his first season in Tempe, becoming an Indoor national champion in the 4x400 relay, a First-Team Outdoor All-American in the 4x400, a Pac-12 Champion in the 4x400 and the school's record-holder in the 100m.
Pairing the Eastern Michigan transfer in Simpson with both the World Champion in Robinson and the freshman phenom in Jayden Davis, Hall has helped develop the Sun Devils as one of the best sprint groups in the entire country.
Hall’s athletic resumé includes his 2016 Olympic gold medal in the 4x400, a 2013 gold medal at the World Championships in the 4x400, two gold medals in the 2012 World Junior Championships (4x400 and 4x100) along with a silver in the 400m open, and a pair of gold medals in the 2011 World Youth Championships (400m and medley relay). While competing with the Gators, Hall collected three SEC championships, was the 2014 SEC Indoor Men’s Runner of the Year, and earned the 2014 USTFCCCA Indoor South Region Men’s Athlete of the Year award. Hall’s name still appears 10 times in UF’s all-time indoor and outdoor top-10 lists.
As a coach with NMJC, Hall’s sprinters and hurdlers contributed to four national titles across the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor seasons in the lone year he was there. In total, Hall coached nine national champions and 28 first-team All-Americans across the sprints and hurdles at both the indoor and outdoor NJCAA National Championships.
Before NMJC, Hall had a state championship-winning season as head coach of Miami Killian High School. Before his time at Miami Killian, Hall coached at ASU for two years where he aided Coach Miller with sprints and recruiting efforts. Prior to ASU, Hall served as volunteer assistant at the University of Florida while also training and competing in the professional ranks.
Hall graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s in Cultural Studies. In addition to coaching, Hall has work experience as a social worker and researcher in the field. His partner, Alethia, was a distance runner for the Sun Devils. She finished her career with the No. 2 800m time in program history (2:03.08, 2013). They are the proud parents of a son, Arman Hall II.

Hall's sprinters and hurdlers rewrote the NMJC record books, gaining new school records across 14 events. He coached Carlie Makarawu to huge PRs in the 60m (6.63), 100m (10.05) and 200m (20.1), with times that landed him in the top-10 All-College Rankings for the 2023 season. Under Hall’s guidance, Donald Chiyangwa dropped his 200m time from 21.25 to 20.2 and PR’d by nearly two seconds in the 400m (45.42). Deshana Skeete PR’d by two seconds in the 400m, ending the season with a nationals-winning time of 52.0. Calisha Taylor led the hurdles crew, winning nationals with 57.47 in the 400H. By the end of the season, every single sprinter and hurdler PR’d under Coach Hall’s tutelage.
