Sophia Belcher Chasing Her First Individual TAPPS XC Title

Sophia Belcher, a Grapevine Faith Christian junior, has her sights set on a 5A individual championship at the TAPPS State XC Championships. In 2023, she finished 24th, and last year, she moved up 19 spots to finish 5th.

In cross-country 3200m, she's No. 2 in all of TAPPS with an 11:46.12, a 26-second improvement over last year. A better diet, a more specific weight room plan, and keeping a level head about training have all led to her rapid rise up the TAPPS charts. 

The TAPPS State XC Championships are slated for Monday, October 27th, at Cottonwood Golf Course. All of the information can be found at TAPPS.biz.
