Letter Winner It is even more difficult to keep things challenging, yet fair in our very first year. With upper classmen and more runners, it usually comes down to varsity and maybe a few others who run varsity times. For this year, I awarded varsity points if the runner finished in the top half of all runners who ran in the "varsity race". Sometimes, this was a big 5a race and other times it was the Freshman / Sophomore race (or even a 3A race, which is where we are right now!). The final meets of the year have a lot to due with earning the letter. Those who did not meet the lettering standard, often have been the best practice runners, and have every chance to improve to letter the next year. There is no set number of letters....but it is mainly a varsity level runner. I challenge all of you to earn this next year when we have over 30 runners!

With that in mind...congratulations to the following for "earning" the first Letter in Cross Country at LHS. The "LT" is special and represents all that you have achieved this year.
