Tara Davis-Woodhall overcame depression and injuries

Tara Davis-Woodhall is one of the most powerful names in the track and field community. She has overcome multiple adversities in life and has made herself stand strong as a human being and an athlete. The reigning champion faced several trials and tribulations while she was at the University of Georgia.

After having successful years at Agoura High School, Davis-Woodhall faced a series of rough times in college. She met several injuries, was trolled on social media, and was also considered a failure. Not only this, but even her coach doubted her.

After facing several backdowns and being completely broken, both emotionally and physically, Davis-Woodhall bounced back stronger by scoring 6.93 meters which was a new collegiate indoor record. She let out a loud scream after nabbing this terrific win.

"It was definitely just more than the 22-9 jump. It was me being injured. It was me reading comments that I was a failure or people wished I'd failed. It was being blocked from competing by my old university. It was everything combined. When I screamed I just let out this intense roar of I'm finally back," Tara Davis-Woodhall expressed."
