"Redemption time baby"- Tara Davis-Woodhall posts sweet note for husband Hunter Woodhall as sprinter starts his campaign at Paris Paralympics

Tara Davis-Woodhall is excited to watch her husband Hunter Woodhall compete at the 2024 Paralympics. Hunter is competing in his third Paralympics Games in Paris 2024 while Tara is fresh off winning the Olympic gold medal at the Summer Olympics.

Hunter is scheduled to start his campaign in the men's 100m T64 round 1 in September, and Tara expressed excitement for the sprinter's race with a post on Instagram. Claiming that Hunter had worked extremely hard through the season, she captioned the post:

"Prelims tonight. You’ve been grinding all season for this moment. Your journey begins tonight✨ let’s do this. redemption time baby 🌟"

Along with the 100m, Hunter is also scheduled to compete in the 400m race. In his first two Olympic appearances so far, the 25-year-old sprinter has won three medals, two bronze and one silver.

After a relatively disappointing campaign at the Tokyo Olympics, Tara secured a statement win in women's long jump at the Paris Olympics 2024. She was the only athlete to cross the 7m mark, winning the gold medal at 7.10m. The 25-year-old now hopes her husband achieves similar success at the 2024 Paralympics.

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall met at a track meet in 2017, and more or less, it was love at first sight for the two.

"Absolutely it did. We met in 2017 when we were both in high school at a track meet. I mean, I fell in love then and I'm sure he did too," she said on 'The Game on 1350 KMAN' (8:20)

Tara also added that Hunter had told his friend that he wanted to marry her.

"He told his friend that he wanted to marry me before. So, I don't know, I feel like track did bring us together and we're doing our track life and track goals and those are always going to be a thing in our lives. But we have other aspirations and right now, it's going to be being a K-State coach," she added.

They got engaged four years later after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where Tara placed fifth in the long jump finals while Hunter won a bronze medal in the men's 400m T62. The couple married in the following year on October 16.

Tara Davis-Woodhall ended her season at the Rome Diamond League on August 30, and will now be working as an assistant coach at the University of Kansas.
