El Reno High School’s volleyball team, which placed third in the league, landed three players on the 2025 All-Suburban Conference team - voted on by member coaches.

The Indians, ranked 14th in Class 5A, closed the season with a 4-2 mark in league action and 19-14 for the season.

El Reno reached the championship round of the regional playoffs before bowing out.

The effort landed a first-team pick on the all-conference team for sophomore Radley Miller.

Brantlie Charmasson was tabbed for the second team and Daily Maples was named honorable mention.

In her third appearance in the postseason, El Reno High School junior Lily Owen punched her ticket to this weekend’s Class 5A State Cross Country Championships.

Running in the 5A West Regional in Moore, Owen posted a time of 22 minutes and 16.77 seconds to place 20th overall. Her time was good enough to grab the second individual state pass handed out from the meet.

It’s the second year for El Reno to send a female runner to state. 

Owen’s third trip to regional was her best time, beating her freshman time by 5:44 and last year’s mark by 50 seconds.
