The Albion Park star became the fastest Australian women over a mile in a race in Oregon, Portland, finishing in 4:19.89. Hull beat the previous record-holder Linden Hall's time of 4:21.38, which was recorded last year.
It continues a sublime year for the 25-year-old, who in February broke the Australian indoor mile record, clocking 4:24.06 in the Women's Wanamaker Mile in New York.
After securing another record, Hull's attention will now turn to the World Athletics Championships in mid-July, where she will compete in the 5000-metre event.
Following the world titles, Hull will head to the United Kingdom for the Commonwealth Games. The US-based talent booked her ticket to Birmingham when she was named in Australia's athletics squad in May.
