And in the 18th and final event of the meet, Broadwater won the high jump for the second straight year, clearing a school-record and area-best height of 5-7 1/4. That victory moved the Wildcats from second to first in the team standings, as they edged Western Tech 66-64 for the title.
"It was one of the best overall performances I've ever seen," Williamsport coach John Bailey said. "She was so calm in the high jump that she looked like she had been there before, and she had. She won the long jump on her last jump. She knows what she needs to do and likes to face the challenge. She's that kind of kid. She comes through."
"It's still overwhelming to this day. I can't believe I did it," Broadwater said. "I always want to peak at the right moment, and this year it was dead on in all three events. I had been struggling all season long with my long jump. That was the one I had to work at the most to get."
Broadwater, who also periodically ran legs of the Wildcats' 4x100 and 4x200 relays this spring, scored a single-season, school-record 266.05 points.
"We've had some pretty good girl athletes, and she beat the No. 1-rated girl by 30 points," Bailey said. "And she has another year to go."
"I'm even more thrilled for next year," Broadwater said. "Hopefully, I'll get four (state titles)."
Four?
"The coaches are saying discus, but I'm not sure about that," she said. "If it will help get that fourth state title, maybe."
Whatever it takes for her team to win.
"We're not going to stop," she said. "We're going to get it again."
Broadwater, a two-sport star, made a verbal commitment last week to the University of Connecticut to play volleyball on a full athletic scholarship.
