Norman High's Parker Bowles is one of the top runners in the state. The junior is also one of the favorites to win the Class 5A state title. He won a pair of national championships during the summer in the 2,000 meter steeplechase and has done well nationally in the 3,000 meter run.

"He has really motivated himself and he pushes himself more than any kid I've been around," said coach Bob Byers. "He's a great leader as well."
