Just as it was made perfectly clear on the public school stage, Houston's private school sector significantly outpaced the competition at the TAPPS State Track & Field Meet.
The top athletes from around the state of Texas all met at Midway ISD's Panther Stadium over this past weekend to prove, once and for all, who was the best in the business.
Both St. Thomas and St. Agnes would claim the TAPPS-6A title, following the next-level athleticism displayed by contestants such as Edward Bocock (St. Thomas), Michaela Grimes (St. Agnes), Tyler Day (St. Thomas), and Kaitlyn Elackatt (St. Agnes).
...
Despite being "short-staffed", the FBCA girls' team would conclude the weekend as back-to-back-to-back TAPPS-5A state champions, thanks to the efforts of Bayleigh Minor, Brooke Perry, Kristen Shell, Gabbie Washington, Kennesha Nabors, and Lilly Coppedge.
On the boys' side, Lutheran South Academy -- led by Matthew Gaitan, Kris St. Clair, Marcus Gaitan, and Wilson Klein -- took gold with a total of 107 points, with FBCA followed right behind with 105.5, after some stellar performances by Max Granville, Luke Cummings, Sean Jimmy-Ducksworth, TJ Smith, and Ivan Jimmy-Ducksworth, among others.
...
The Cypress Christian girls program made it four in a row in TAPPS-4A, with Nicole Santos, Mariana Van Dyk, and Sophia Swanton each having starring roles.
Meanwhile, Rosehill Christian re-claimed their state title-status, as Mercy Freeman, Kaleigh Frazier, and Kaydence Frazier were among the numerous athletes to propel the Eagles to victory.
...
They weren't the only ones to excel, either. Here is a full recap of all the teams and individuals who took home medals in the state competition.

The Woodlands Christian Academy (TWCA) is culminating its 30th anniversary celebrations by hosting “Now & Then — Celebrating 30 Years” for its 2024 Auction and Gala. The event will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at 6:00 pm at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. TWCA is pleased to announce the Presenting Sponsor, Marabou Midstream Services and The Dunnavant Family, and Capstone Society Member sponsor, Team Reed Enterprises, Inc. The chairs for this annual auction and gala are Amanda and Bob Gaige.
The proceeds from “Now & Then” will help enrich the school's mission and benefit the school’s students for years to come. Approximately 450 guests, including parents, faculty, staff, and community members, will be in attendance. The evening will include the debut of the short film “A Story of The Woodlands Christian Academy’s Past 30 Years,” dinner, dancing, bid boards, a live auction, Fund-A-Need, and entertainment from The Drywater Band.
Thirty years ago, a bold group of visionaries were called to develop and establish a school where students could learn from exceptional teachers and grow in their faith in Christ. The Woodlands Christian Academy opened in September 1993 with 150 students and now has 820 proud “Warrior” students. This was made possible by the guidance of a dedicated governance board, school leadership, faculty and staff, and the generous support of Woodlands Christian families, the community, and the school’s growing Warriors Forever Alumni Association.
“As we reflect and celebrate the school’s many accomplishments since our founding, we appreciate our families and our community that continue to invest in the future and growth of Woodlands Christian to continue our legacy for the next 30 years,” said Rachel Ray, Director of Development and TWCA Class of 2011. “Every contribution from our auction and gala will directly benefit every student and enhance academic and co-curricular programs.”
