Olympians Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall are the definition of relationship goals.
The couple initially met in 2017 while attending a high school track meet in Idaho during their senior year. Davis-Woodhall was originally from Agoura Hills, California and Woohall grew up in Syracuse, Utah. Davis-Woodhall approached the Paralympian first, wanting to give him a hug.
“I stepped onto the track and said, ‘I don’t know why I have to do this, but I have to give you a hug,’” Davis-Woodhall recalled in a July 2018 YouTube video. “And that was the first time we talked.”
Woodhall, for his part, shared that he knew at that moment he found the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. The pair stayed in touch after meeting at the sporting event and officially began dating later that year.
The duo tackled a long-distance relationship throughout college and supported each other’s track and field dreams. In 2021 they got engaged, and they tied the knot the following year.
