Instead of collecting the Bronze Bowl and gathering with it at midfield for a post-meet celebration on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, the members of the Glendale High boys’ and girls’ track and field teams opted for something a bit different. Shortly after the Nitros picked up the shiny trophy from the scorer’s table, the Nitros took a victory lap around the new all-weather track at Hoover.
