Tara Davis-Hunter and Hunter Woodhall first crossed paths in high school. Since then, they’ve been giving us serious couple goals, not just because they’re cute together, but because they share the same dreams. And those dreams? They came true in Paris! Both Hunter Woodhall and his wife, Olympian Tara Davis-Woodhall, took home gold at the Stade de France in 2024. Now, it looks like they’re setting even more epic couple goals!

We know that Hunter and Tara have different training routines for their respective events, but they make it a point to train every day. They’re always watching, filming, and supporting each other as partners. Tara once said, “To have a partner in the same sport, it means everything.” While both are track and field athletes, Tara specializes in the long jump, and Hunter is a Paralympian sprinter. And recently, they did something special, something they don’t often do.

A unique look at their life together

Tara Davis recently ran 150-meter sprints alongside Hunter during practice. She shared the moment on Threads, and Hunter also posted, “Tara and I got to run together at practice today. Doesn’t happen often, but so fun when it does.” Training sessions like these are a rare but exciting opportunity for them to compete and challenge each other, and the atmosphere is always filled with encouragement. But whenever they do train together, it’s all about lifting each other up. “We have one thing on our mind — winning and being the best versions of ourselves,” Tara said.

If one of them is having an off day, the other is there to offer support and keep them motivated. They hold each other accountable, reminding each other that bad days don’t define their journey. “Let’s do this. Let’s be there for each other,” Tara once said. “When that’s happening, you can’t help but succeed.” While moments like these are rare, they do work out together regularly, making these occasions even more meaningful.

Hunter and Tara put in some serious training “three to five hours a day,” six days a week on the track, with three of those days also spent in the weight room. After all that hard work, they carve out “one to three hours” for recovery. But their dedication doesn’t stop there. They also have a YouTube channel under the monicker “Tara and Hunter”, where they post all that content from their achievements and promotions to the deepest and personal aspects of their everyday life as a married couple. The pair can truly be seen supporting each other, for instance, during the Paris Olympics!

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall chose a quiet life in Kansas after Olympic glory

Last summer, Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall were officially crowned as the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympic Games power couple. Tara got gold in the women’s long jump, while Hunter took gold in the men’s 400m T62 category. It was a whirlwind month for the couple, with their nearly identical gold medals, each engraved with the Eiffel Tower, but with unique touches. Tara has had the Olympic rings and Nike and Hunter have had “Paris 2024” written in braille.

But even after all that commotion, Tara panicked when her brand-new gold medal disappeared from sight. Hunter, as always, was composed, and he knew where it was. “Don’t worry, baby, it’s right next to mine,” he reassured her. Looking back, both agreed that winning those golds together in Paris was a highlight of their careers, especially after all the struggles and hard work they’d put in over the years. “It was the most amazing sports moment ever,” Hunter said. “It’s at the top of my highlight reel.”

After they return to the USA, they are now living in Kansas, working on new opportunities and rigorous training. One huge shift has been their transformation into assistant track and field coaches at Kansas State University. It was through this chance that their coach, Travis Geopfert, became the Director of K-State Track and Field/Cross Country before offering them an opportunity to join the team.

Tara said that it was their desire to further train with Geopfert in Kansas following their focus on the 2028 LA Olympics. “Hunter and I thought it was best to follow him and keep pushing forward with our track careers,” she said. “I’m a country person, I don’t like big cities — it’s just more my vibe.” As they are adjusting to living in a quieter environment, they’ve grown to really appreciate the peace and togetherness that comes with it.
