Tara Davis-Woodhall celebrated after winning her long jump season opener in a dominant fashion. The reigning Olympic champion reached 6.75m to set the meet record at the 115th Drake Relays in Iowa.
Tara Davis-Woodhall was a force to be reckoned with at the 2024 Paris Games. She jumped 7.10m to win her maiden gold and celebrated with her husband and constant support system, Hunter Woodhall, who also clinched his first Paralympic gold days later. Following that, the long jumper joined the Kansas State University's track and field team as an assistant coach.
In between coaching duties, Tara Davis-Woodhall and her husband continued training under Travis Geopfert, the Director of Track and Field/Cross Country of K-State. On April 26, the former competed for the first time in 2025 at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. She touched 6.75m with her gold medal-winning jump and broke the meet record.
