On March 2nd at the San Dimas High School stadium, the SDHS Track and Field team competed against Bonita High School in a track meet. Although the track and field team from Bonita is in a higher division than the SDHS Track and Field team, it was fun for these two rival schools to compete against each other. The athletes from San Dimas High School have been practicing hard for weeks and performed very well. Overall, everyone ran their best races and was able to reach new personal records. It was a fun track meet and the competition was exciting.
When asked about her experience at the track meet, junior Valerie Sanchez stated, “I think I did okay, and I think the team did well. We will do better later in the season after more practice. The competition against our rival school was fun.”
The Bonita High School track and field team has been training since last summer, and they are in a higher division than the San Dimas High School track and field team. Therefore, they were able to get more points and they won. However, the athletes from SDHS had fun and a positive attitude the entire time. It was a good experience for the SDHS track and field team to compete against a more experienced team because they were able to push themselves and perform to the best of their abilities.
When asked about her experience at the track meet, junior Isabella Trejos stated, “I think I could have done better with more practice since I haven’t ran in a while. Overall, the team did a good job, and there was a positive atmosphere even though we weren’t winning, which was nice. It was a fun track meet, and it was a good experience to compete against a more seasoned team.”
The SDHS track and field team has only been practicing since the beginning of February, so there are many months left in the season to improve. This is the reason why the team wasn’t completely prepared for the meet against Bonita, even though it was a good experience. Overall, this track meet helped prepare the SDHS track team for future meets, and it was good for the team to have a tough competition against a better team. This track meet was a good start to the 2022 track and field season.
