Father Lopez's Mackenzie Brewton won the Class 1A state shot put championship and placed fifth in discus, and two of her teammates also placed in the top three at the state meet on Saturday, May 10 at the University of North Florida's Hodges Stadium.
Adalae Fulton placed second in discus and Caroline Theriault tied for third in high jump.
The meet was delayed three hours because of lightning and then ran concurrently with the Class 3A championships.
Brewton broke her own school record in shot put with a throw of 12.50 meters (41 feet, 0.25 inches). She won on her final throw.
"I just had to let it out," said Brewton, who was the last thrower. "My other throws weren't what I liked. I knew I had more."
Fulton, who has been accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy, PR'd by more than two meters to place second in discus with a toss of 38.84 meters (127 feet, 5 inches). Brewton's discus throw was 35.0 meters (114 feet, 10 inches).
Theriault jumped 1.52 meters (4 feet, 11.75 inches) on her first attempt. She also competed in the 100 hurdles, finishing 10th, one spot behind teammate Lauren Lancing.
"It was kind of hectic," Theriault said. "The high jump was the first event after the three-hour delay. Then I had to run the hurdles. I think all my hard work and all the help from my coach paid off. I want to thank my parents for supporting me and I want to thank God. I did not expect this to happen.
The Green Wave had three other athletes competing at state: Mia Bruno-Lodwig was 12th in shot put; Lancing was 13th in 400 hurdles in addition to her ninth place in 100 hurdles; Caroline Curtis was 16th in th 400 meters; and Ryan Herdel was 14th in boys 200 meters.
