The Tracy High School girls’ soccer team recognized its senior players during their pre-game ceremony on Friday, Feb. 7. The ceremony highlighted the contributions of the Class of 2025 and their memories of the program.
Before kickoff, each senior was introduced alongside their loved ones as their achievements and future plans were announced.
Tracy High’s Lady Bulldogs included Analisa Aguilera, Jasmin Alvarez, Bayli Brown, Faythe DeLong, Natalia Infante-Rosario, Alexa Munoz, Anamari Perez, Addison Perry, Imaan Safdari and Brooklyn Vanderlipe.
This night marked an opportunity to speak their hearts about the sport they have learned to thrive in.
“Soccer has helped me become the person I am today by providing support and constant balance in my life,” senior Jasmin Alvarez said. “It made me work harder and learn to fight for what I want in my life on and off the field.”
Additionally, many players credited their families for their encouragement and commitment.
“My parents were definitely the ones who have kept me encouraged through the years,” Natalia Infante-Rosario said. “They have gone through a lot to get me places, support my teams and afford the cost of it all.”
Leading a team is always a challenging effort, but it paves way for certain skills in one’s future.
“Being a captain on the varsity team has taught me that everyone has up and down moments, and it is important to be there for them and encourage them to be their best during every moment,” captain Bayli Brown said.
Following the ceremony, the team competed in its final league home game of the season. With the playoffs approaching, the Bulldogs aim to finish strong as they close out their season.
The Bulldogs will host Bear Creek on Tuesday, Feb. 18 for the first round of the playoffs.
