In 2023, the high school posthumously honored Benny Shendo Sr. who won the state mile with a time of 4.44 (for all schools, regardless of size) in 1953, becoming the first state champion for Bernalillo High, with an honorary diploma. (The spring after his championship, Benny's grandfather died, requiring Benny to leave school to help run the family farm. He was then drafted to serve in the Korean War and never finished his diploma.)[4]
