Sachse junior Dominic Richardson placed 34th at the Class 6A state cross country meet with a time of 15 minutes, 46 seconds, while senior Samuel Ledbetter finished just three seconds behind him in 39th place at 15:49.
Richardson was making his state debut after narrowly missing qualification by 0.3 seconds last season.
He earned his trip to Round Rock by finishing ninth at the regional meet. Richardson also placed second at the District 9-6A championships, helping the Mustangs capture their second consecutive district title.
Ledbetter, meanwhile, made significant strides in his second state appearance.
After finishing 94th in 16:20 as a junior last year, Ledbetter climbed 55 places and shaved 31 seconds off his time.
His senior season included four individual race victories, a district championship and a third-place finish at the Region II-6A meet.
