Born in Del Rio, Texas, Tara Nott grew up in Stilwell, Kansas.[1] Her coaches were Mike Gattone and Bob Morris. She attended Blue Valley Middle and High Schools in Stilwell, KS and Colorado College in Colorado Springs, CO. She is married to free style wrestler Casey Cunningham.

In 2000, she became the first US weightlifter to win Olympic gold since Chuck Vinci in 1960, and the first US female weightlifter ever to win Olympic gold. The original gold medal winner, Bulgaria's Izabela Dragneva, was stripped of her gold after testing positive for furosemide and the gold was awarded to Nott.[2]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics she ranked 10th in the 48 kg category.[3][4]

She was inducted into the International Weightlifting Hall of Fame in 2015.[5]
