Hunter Woodhall recounted his relationship with Tara Davis-Woodhall, and how the companionship helped them both in achieving great heights in their respective careers. In a conversation at the Female Quotient event held a couple of days ago, Woodhall mentioned,

"Every single way imaginable. Every single choice that we made in athletics and life has been like together as a team. And as an example, we went to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics when we were not together, like we were living separately, we weren't married yet, and we both did very bad. Not that bad, but worse than we did in Paris."

Davis-Woodhall nodded in agreement as she added,

"And then once we got together and we made the effort of he's going to win, I'm going to win, and we both held each other accountable. That's what Paris was. It's like those Power Rangers, like, all put their stuff together."

Hunter Woodhall had met Tara Davis-Woodhall at a track meet in Idaho in 2017. They began dating soon enough, and eventually tied the knot in October 2022.
