USATF Indoor Championships: Tara Davis Receives Huge Support Hours Before Her Performance in Albuquerque: “You’ve Got This”

Life seems to be coming full circle for 24-year-old Tara Davis this year. When the clock strikes 7 pm, Davis would be stepping into yet another battleground, this time with the mission of redeeming herself. The Texas native always had a huge impact on the disciplines she participated in. Some of her impressive achievements include being a 4x USTFCCCA All-American, Runners in the 2018 American Junior 60m hurdle, 2017 record holder at the American Junior Long jump, and of course the infamous victory in last year’s USATF Indoor Championships. And now with the USATF Indoor glory beckoning her name, fans are following suit too. 

Davis had one of the best outings last year clinching the gold in the event. However, she was left reeling with a sorrowful taste when she got into a tangle with the USADA. And now, to set things straight, Tara Davis-Woodhall has her eyes fixated on her comeback at the very same event that took away a lot from her.

Davis recently posted a snap of her from the previous year’s event. We could all see the elation in the expression of the athlete as her prized golden possession dangled from her neck. Below the picture, a determined caption said, “well… let’s try this again… USATF Indoor Championships 7:00 PM MST watch on usatf.tv” 

At first glance, such a post from an athlete would look like a normal update before going into a big event. However, this is not just about winning. It was Davis’ fight with herself. Now, to understand the entire scenario, let’s turn back time to the USATF Indoor Championships 2023. Davis had just created history triumphing with an impeccable jump of 6.99m. As the congratulations started to flood, a dark cloud was waiting to expand its legion of doom. Unfortunately, Davis was found guilty of having THC in her blood, which is commonly found in hashish, cannabis, and marijuana. 

Jubilance soon turned into despair as Davis was stripped off her medals and was handed a month-long suspension. From that moment onwards, Davis had her eyes fixated on the forthcoming event of 2024. And now when the opportunity is here, Davis is looking as determined as ever to come out clean and narrate an entirely different story for the world to remember. Soon after her Instagram post, fans and athletes jumped in with best wishes and love.
