Tara Davis after the 2016 Texas Relays.
When we said the Dunamis Sports Group Track Classic was bringing in talent from across the country we meant it! Tara Davis is just one of the athletes who's coming all the way from California to compete this weekend. Davis is one of the best jumpers/hurdlers in the country. At the beginning of January Davis ran a high school U.S. #1 mark of 8.31 in the 60mH. That race was aginst a mostly collegiate field at the UW Indoor Preview. At that same meet, she jumped 19'11.75" for U.S. #5 in the long jump and 40'1.5" for U.S. #9 in the triple jump. Read below her answers to some of our pre-meet questions.

Competing against athletes that you have looked up to since you've started track.
Cats or dogs?
Dogs, cats scare me! when I was in 5th grade I used to walk to school every day and I made friends with a cat and everyday I would pet it and play with him. then one day it decided to attack my face once I bent down to pet him, ever since then I can't trust cats.
If you could have a superpower what would it be?
Probably to be invisible, just cause I would be able to steal whatever food I want, and I could hide out of hard practices.
