Jim White had not been fired from numerous prior teaching jobs before starting at McFarland. He started teaching in the McFarland school district after graduating from Pepperdine University in 1964.
Jim White did not create the cross-country team at the school, but instead restarted it after it had been dropped for a year. He rebuilt both the boys' and girls' cross-country teams, despite only the boys' team being featured in the film. Similarly, White took both the boys' and girls' teams to the California coast beach at Cayucos during the 1985 (not 1987) season.
Danny Diaz was not overweight as a kid. He was, however, the seventh person on the team and still instrumental to its 1987 state title win.
Colombian music superstar Juanes was approached to write the theme song for the film. "Juntos/Together" was performed at the The 57th Annual Grammy Awards (2015), the first Latin song in ten years to be given the privilege.
The misspelling of "Cougers" on the hats was explained. Coach White notices it and one of the runners (Thomas) says not to point it out because "the parents have fundraised, along with the athletes, and are so proud of the new uniforms."
"Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods."
"Jim White: David, I'd like you to ask your father something for me. David Diaz: Yeah Jim White: You know what, just tell him... just tell him it was an honor to be invited into his home. David Diaz: Dad, he said it was an honor to be invited into your home. Señor Diaz: Tell him I say thanks."
