2024: Broderick had an outstanding first season as a Trojan, setting the USC freshman discus throw record with a mark of 204-6 (62.34m) at the Beach Opener on March 2…that throw moved him to second on USC’s all-time discus throw list, behind only the mark of 206-0 (62.78m) set by Gary Carlsen in 1967. He won the USC-UCLA Dual Meet discus throw title with a mark of 198-1 (60.39m) on April 27 and placed third in the shot put with a PR of 52-7.50 (16.04m) on April 28.
