Some of the most impressive highlights from the the 5A-6A Oklahoma State Track and Field Championships came from the throwing ring. In particular, Moore High School. At Yukon High on Friday, Patrick Larrison, a senior from Moore, claimed his third straight 6A discus title with a toss of 210 feet, 9 inches, setting a state record. His mark is currently the top throw in the country. On Saturday, Larson added his third straight shot put title, throwing 65-7 for another record.

"I just wanted to come out and really seal the deal. I was really proud of the way we came out to show what Moore throwing is all about," Larrison told newsok.com. 

Teammate and fellow senior Hannah Bradford won the discus (138-8) to make it a Moore sweep. 

Westmoore High's Anthony Riley made history. Again. The junior bested his own state long jump record, this time going 25-feet, 1 inch. 

“I felt great. It was just a great day,” Riley told the normantranscript.com. His previous 6A record was 24-5.25.

Junior Jesse Porter of Putnam City West set a 6A state record in the 100 dash, clocking 10.33. He added a 200 title (21.46).
