Gold Medal HunterWhen he appeared in Faces in the crowd in the Sept. 12–19, 2016, issue,
double-amputee Hunter Woodhall, who was born with a congenital defect that
prevented his fibulae from forming, had just won a state title in the 400 meters
against able-bodied runners as a senior at Syracuse (Utah) High. The same
week he appeared in the magazine, he took silver in the 200 meters and bronze
in the 400 at the Paralympics in Rio. He then became the first double-amputee
to earn a track and field Division I scholarship. As an Arkansas freshman
in 2018, he was part of the SEC bronze-medal-winning 4 × 400 relay team,
earning All-America honors; as a sophomore he ran a personal best in the
400 (46.22), taking fourth in the conference championships. Now the 20-year-
old Woodhall’s eyes are on a bigger prize. “My goal is gold in 2020 [at the
Paralympics],” he says. —Torrey HartSCORECARD
