Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall Join Nike’s Decorated Roster of Track and Field Athletes

Nike is announcing the addition of Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall to its decorated track and field roster, further demonstrating the brand’s commitment to partnering with elite athletes to break barriers, push limits and move the world forward through the power of sport.

Davis-Woodhall, a long jumper, and Woodhall, a sprinter, both won gold last summer in Paris and sit atop their respective disciplines as among the greatest athletes in international track and field competition. In partnering with Nike, the couple joins an unmatched athlete roster fueled by the brand’s holistic, industry-leading support and longstanding commitment to innovation, all in service of athletes.

Davis-Woodhall is the preeminent American long jumper and a two-time Olympian. She won her first Olympic gold in 2024, following up on a first-place finish at the World Indoor Championships earlier in the year. She also won the national title at the USA Track & Field Championships in 2023 and set the NCAA women’s long jump record two years prior.

“Nike is more than a sponsor: It’s a partner in creating change for women in sport, turning belief into action through its deep support for athletes, innovative footwear and apparel, and a mission of expanding sport for the next generation,” says Davis-Woodhall. “I’m always searching for ways to level up my performance and make a lasting impact on the track and field community, and partnering with Nike will help me push my limits while growing and giving back to the sport I love.”

Woodhall is a three-time Paralympian and five-time Paralympic medalist who has been a mainstay at the leading edge of multiple sprint disciplines for the past decade. He won his first Paralympic gold in 2024, besting the field in the men’s 400-meter T62, and took bronze in the 4-by-100-meter universal relay alongside Nike athletes Tatyana McFadden and Noah Malone. He previously won bronze in the 400-meter T62 at the 2020 Games in Tokyo, as well as silver (in the 200-meter T62) and bronze (in the 400-meter T62) at the 2016 Games in Rio.

“One of the things that immediately attracted me to Nike is a shared mindset rooted in the idea that better is never good enough,” says Woodhall. “At Nike, and in running, there’s a never-ending pursuit of trial, progress and innovation — and I’m inspired by the prospect of what we can create together, both to help me improve my performance and to serve athletes worldwide.”

Cofounded by a former collegiate track and field athlete and his coach, Nike has a five-decade history as the brand built by runners, for runners — serving both elite and everyday athletes with innovation and inspiration that aim to solve the challenges they face every day. Nike is also the greatest champion of women in sport, pioneering new paths for women athletes by inviting them into sport and delivering science-backed innovation that’s personalized and disruptive. Further, the brand is a strong advocate for adaptive and Paralympic athletes, helping them reach new heights with holistic support and custom innovations designed to enable even greater performance.

Davis-Woodhall and Woodhall will debut as Nike athletes at the upcoming Drake Relays.
