Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall are the power couple of the track and field world, and the duo have had an incredible 2024. Reflecting on their year, Davis-Woodhall picked out her favorite moment from the month of September and shared a previously unseen video with fans.

For the American, the highlight of her season on the field was without a doubt the Paris Olympics. Competing at Stade De France in August, Davis-Woodhall aced her qualifying before clearing a mark of 7.10m in the finals to clinch the long jump gold medal.

A few weeks after her victory, Hunter Woodhall would go on to replicate the feat in the men's 400m T62 event at the 2024 Paralympic Games. The sprinter also won a bronze in the mixed 4x100m relay.

Now, reflecting on their year together, Tara Davis-Woodhall termed her husband's victory the highlight of her September. She shared a previously unseen video where she can be heard saying, ‘Hunter has just finished his 400m; he just got his gold medal, look there he is’, while Woodhall dances in the background.

After her success at the Paris Olympics, Tara Davis-Woodhall will now be taking on a new challenge. The long jumper will be joining K-State as an assistant coach next season, sharing her expertise with upcoming student-athletes.

Speaking on her decision, she told 13 Sports,

“My coach Travis Geopfert is the best coach in the entire world. When he asked me if I wanted to come coach at K-State, I was like honestly, yes.”

She went on to explain her approach to her role, saying,

“I’ve been to two schools now. And I’ve seen how coaches treat the athletes. A lot of coaches treat the athletes as points, and I wanna be the coach who treats them as a person.”

Outside of her responsibility as a coach, Tara Davis-Woodhall is looking forward to becoming a part of the Kansas community.

“I am a community person. I love a nice community, and I love the sense of belonging. So to be extremely welcomed this way, it feels good. They see me for me, and they see me for my personality, and not what I can do on the track either, so that’s really cool.”

As a student-athlete, Davis-Woodhall spent her freshman year at the University of Georgia before moving to the University of Texas, where she went on to win the 2020-21 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships in the long jump and claim the Big 12 Outdoor Championship.
