Tara Davis-Woodhall reacts to UCLA Basketball forward Gabriela Jaquez joining softball for postseason

Tara Davis-Woodhall is stunned after confronting the news of UCLA Basketball forward Gabriela Jaquez joining softball for her postseason. Jacquez will be seen in the Bruin's softball uniform in her postseason. She joined the team right before the NCAA Los Angeles Regional.

Jacquez will be donning number 32 on her t-shirt at the softball game. Although she is known for her remarkable skills in the UCLA women's basketball team, Jacquez is not unaware of softball. She was a part of the softball team, for three years at the Adolfo Camarillo High School.

Jacquez expressed her excitement on her Instagram account where she was donning a softball uniform and also shared some old pictures of her playing softball. The post's caption read,

"Softball Gabs is BACKKK"

Tara Davis-Woodhall reacted to this by sharing the ESPNW's post about Jacquez shifting to softball on her Instagram story.

"Now this is what you call BADA**," the 24-year-old captioned her story.

After nabbing this feat, Davis-Woodhall expressed her excitement about obtaining the world lead. She revealed that she is happy with her present skills.

"I'm way faster than I've ever been. 7.16 is the new outdoor PR, so that's pretty cool. I do have a lot of stuff to work on, so I'm excited for the future, for sure."

She also stated that she is looking forward to future events and revealed how she handled her emotions during the competition.

"Emotions were key. I kept them calm, because I knew I wanted to go a little bit farther, of course. I just try to work on my emotions for this track meet, but other than that, I'm just so, so, so stoked for the future. I mean I have no complaints right now."

The long-jump star will next be seen competing at the Adidas Atlantic City Games, which will be held on May 18 at Piedmont Park. She will be competing against the likes of Anna Hall, Ese Braune, Chanice Porter, and Quanesh Burks in the women's long jump event.
