The Baldwin Track & Field program began its journey in 1940, built on grit, growth, & the pursuit of greatness.

But it wasn’t until the leadership of Coach Edward Helbig Jr. that the team reached its peak.

Coach Helbig joined the program in 1976 & became head coach in 1994. Over 49 seasons, he shaped Baldwin into a powerhouse—instilling discipline, integrity, & a relentless work ethic. 

He wasn’t just a coach—he was the foundation on which generations of Baldwin athletes were built.

In 1992, Coach Wright joined the staff & quickly became a driving force in the team’s rise. His leadership, passion, & continued support—financial & otherwise—have been crucial to Baldwin’s growth & survival. 

Without him, the program would not have reached the heights it did—nor survived the loss of Coach Helbig in 2024.
