One school record was broken and a handful of personal bests were accomplished at Thursday's conference meet.
The Mustang girls' track team took second place in the Metro Athletic Conference with 97 team points. Edmond Santa Fe took first with 191 points, while Edmond North came in second with 136 points.
“This maybe the best overall performance since I became coach here,” MHS head coach David Lorenz said. “Finishing third in our conference is a good thing, with Santa Fe and North both perennial top-five teams in the state.”
The 1,600-meter relay team set a new school record. The team comprised of Desharion Baldwin, Ashton Adams, Jamie Rateliff and Kala Ratliff ran a 4:03.02 and claimed the silver medal.
The other three relay teams each placed to earn team points as well. The 3,200-meter relay team made up of Rateliff, Shelbi Legg, Angela Zanotti and Ratliff ran a 9:57.13, their best time of the season. They took second place as well.
