In a move designed to improve the quality of their state meet, TAPPS has announced that they will host the 2017 TAPPS State XC Championships at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco, TX. The meet was held at Lake Waco through 2012 until the United States Federal Government Shutdown of 2013 led TAPPS officials to scramble for a new venue. Since then, the TAPPS State Meet has taken place in three different locations in the last four years and has drawn strong criticism for having course quirks not typically seen at the state meet level.
Due to complications from the UT vs. Baylor football game on Saturday October 28th, TAPPS elected to hold the meet on Monday October 30th. While this may provide scheduling conflicts for parents and fans, the quality of the course is a significant upgrade as it has previously played host to high profile meets such as the NCAA Big 12 Championships and the NCAA South Central Regional Championships.
