Mustang High School’s Brayden Cox delivered a championship performance Friday, winning the 2026 OSSAA Class 6A Boys High Jump at the 5A-6A State Track & Field Championship at Western Heights High School in Oklahoma City.

Cox cleared 6 feet, 8 inches to capture the state title for the Broncos, adding another major accomplishment to an already impressive jumping résumé. The Mustang junior entered the state meet as one of Oklahoma’s top high jumpers, with MileSplit listing his high school personal record at 6'10" and his 2026 season mark at 6'8".

Mustang had a strong presence in the 6A boys high jump field. Cox was joined by teammates Tristan Epp and Vicente Leonard, giving the Broncos three athletes competing in the event at the state meet. The official state meet program listed Cox, Epp, and Leonard among the Class 6A boys high jump finalists.

Cox’s winning jump of 6'8" gave Mustang another standout moment on the state stage and continued the Broncos’ strong tradition in field events. His championship performance adds to a season where he consistently ranked among the top high jumpers in Oklahoma.

In second place was Bixby High School’s Tyler Wright who cleared 6’6” and in third place went to Edmond Memorial High School’s Ben Bajema, a sophomore who cleared 6”6”
