The Viking squad, which placed sixth overall at states last year, also had the first-place finish for Division II schools on Saturday.
State champions were seniors Preston Richardson and Wesley Shrieves.
Richardson repeated as a double state champion in the shot put (57’1”) and discus (170’8”). With Saturday’s two titles, he is now a four-time state champion.
Shrieves won the long jump event with a 22’7” mark. He also came in second in the triple jump (42’2.75”).
“I am extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished over the last two years in this sport,” said Broadwater head coach Eric Hack after the state championships.
“Preston and Wesley have led our team to heights we will likely not see again for a long time,” he said.
Some other top performers for the boys team were Brendon Burrows, who picked up more than his projected points in both the shot put and discus; Nick Gomer, who became the second Broadwater athlete to break 5 minutes in the 1600m run and Adam Bowen, who finished in the top 10 for the 200m.
The boys 4x100m relay team, comprised of Shrieves, Bowen, Tyler Major and John Gordon, finished sixth with 46.26.
For the girls events on Saturday, Savana Davis and Hazel Tankard both set new school records in their respective events.
Davis had a 28’2.75” mark in the shot put and a 72’10” mark in the discus, while Tankard clocked 29.37 in the 200m and had a 15’1.75” mark in the long jump.
“In terms of the meet, all of our athletes, boys and girls, performed at or above their expected placement coming in,” Hack said.
