According to coach Fidalgo his favorite memory was attending a cross country banquet. He says “the seniors cried as they thanked their teammates and coaches. It really surprised me and inspired me as a coach. I hope all the runners I coach leave BHS remembering track as one of the highlights of their high school career, for the friendships they’ve made and the experiences we had together.” In track you meet many diverse people and create bonds and friendships that can last long after high school. Senior track captain biancha Aime says “My favorite thing about being part of the Track and Field team is the bonds you make. You're teammates are the ones you spend everyday with, they're just like you.

    Children tend to go out for sports to make friends, improve relationships, become better at the sport, and to stay in shape. No matter what the reason is when you join the sport, you will find out that you gained numerous friends over the course of the season. As every sports season comes around the corner, you can visualize how close people on the same teams grow. At our high school, people eat with their teams, lift with their teams, practice with their teams, and play with their teams. The environment is set up to create friendships. Being a senior in high school, I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple team sports. Throughout my high school experience, I have noticed is that the teams who grow the closest, have the greatest success. One piece of evidence is our soccer team. When I came into high school, we had the opportunity to meet new coaches. Coach Garza and Coach Javi, the soccer coaches, are no doubt, the best coaches I have ever had the chance to be taught by. They both possess the rare trait of being able to bond kids together. The soccer team I am on has the strongest bond I have ever seen. Since I joined the team as a freshman, we have made two consecutive state trips, which were the first and second in school history. We also achieved the runner-up status in the championship game. If there were one trait I could relate our success to, it would be the bond we share as a…
