EDMOND – The Mustang Broncos added more hardware to their mantle last weekend.

Mustang’s boys captured their third win of the season, taking first place in the 2022 Pre-State meet at Edmond Santa Fe on Saturday. The Bronco girls finished just outside of the top-10.

Carson Patten (Jr.) led the route for Mustang’s boys as they scored 26 points – nearly 100 less than second-place Jenks.

Patten finished second overall with a time of 16:13.68, just behind Norman’s Phin Bonner, who won with a time of 16:00.74.

Cameron Langdon (So.), Dylan Chaoomchaisiri (Sr.), Noah Thayer (Fr.), and Jacoby Nance (Sr.) all finished inside the top-10 and rounded out the team’s placers.

Langdon placed third (16:22.82), Chaoomchaisiri placed fifth (16:28.34), Thayer placed seventh (16:38.67), and Nance placed ninth (16:39.74).

Luke Balliew (Jr.) also cracked the top-10, finishing 10th with a time of 16:42.48. Carson Fincher (So.) came in 30th with a time of 17:17.93.

Mustang’s average top-5 time of 16:28.65 blew away the field.
