Tara Davis-Woodhall Husband: Meet Hunter Woodhall
Hunter Woodhall is an American track and field athlete. He won a bronze medal in the Men’s 400m T62 at the 2020 Summer Paralympics. On 16 October 2022, Woodhall married his longtime girlfriend, Olympian Tara Woodhall.
Hunter Woodhall was born on February 17, 1999. He is 24 years old.
He made his international debut in 2015 with a silver and bronze medal at the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships and later won a bronze and silver medal at the 2016 Summer Paralympics. After graduating from Syracuse High School, he became the first double amputee to earn an NCAA Division I scholarship.
Woodhall was born in Georgia while his father was serving in the military. Woodhall’s parents decided to amputate both his legs at 11 months old due to fibular hemimelia. Raised in Syracuse, Utah, he was homeschooled until fifth grade and upon entering public school he was bullied for his disability. Although he was originally given prosthetic legs, Woodhall switched to carbon fiber “blades” for running and joined a track team.
While in his junior year, Woodhall joined the video-sharing app TikTok where he shared the story of how he lost his legs. As a result, he was invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he was given $20,000 to help him with his 2020 Paralympic goals.
