THE MAIN EVENT: TAPPS State Track Meet Preview
After a thrilling Spring season and an even more entertaining series of events at the South Regionals, it’s all come down to this.
The TAPPS State Meet will be taking place this Friday and Saturday at Midway ISD’s Panther Stadium. Fortunately for local fan bases, the Houston area will be well-represented across the board.
From the 6A contenders at Concordia Lutheran and St. Thomas; the 5A powerhouses of FBCA, TWCA and LSA; 4A’s Legacy Prep Christian Academy to the 3A power at Rosehill Christian, it seems almost inevitable that several H-Town qualifiers will be walking away with gold.
Here are just some of the Houston-area private school athletes who will be representing at the main event.
