SYRACUSE, Utah. — Hunter Woodhall won a bronze medal this summer, running track, at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. The Syracuse, UT native has harnessed some of his track success into an entrepreneurial endeavor. Hunter has launched a company called Giant Hoodies.
Hunter has been in the spotlight since his first Paralympic, medal-winning performance in 2016 in Rio. Giant Hoodies appears to be Hunter’s passion project. However, with this recent media coverage, it could be one of the top-selling gifts for the 2021 holidays.
The two-time Paralympian and his fiance, two-time Olympian Tara Davis, recently got engaged in Mexico.
I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
