How Do I Earn a Varsity Letter?

It is the philosophy of the track and field coaches at Life Christian that Varsity Letters are to be earned, not simply given out. A Varsity Letter signifies that an athlete was a stand-out varsity level athlete. Receiving a letter is viewed as a large compliment, and not earning a letter is in no way a slight. There are several athletes who contribute in several invaluable ways who do not receive varsity letters, there are awards at the end of the year banquet to honor those athletes. Varsity Letters are indicative of outstanding and consistent performances in competition.
