In the marquee meet of the season thus far, the Norman junior placed first in a field stocked with the state's top west-side runners at the Edmond Dog Pack on Saturday. Bowles covered the 5K course in 16:32, which was 17 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. The Dog Pack was held at Mitch Park, the same course on which the Class 4A-6A state championships will be held.
