Varsity Letter

Varsity letters in cross country are given based on the athlete competing at the varsity level 4 times (4 points) during the season. If an athlete achieves a mark listed on the standard sheet (see below) in any cross country race, then he or she will receive a point towards a varsity letter. 

Any senior, in good standing, who is on the team for 3 years or more, will receive a varsity letter as well.

Congratulations! You’ve made Varsity! Now, how can you get your varsity jacket?

Varsity Jacket purchases are strictly optional and not required. The vendors listed below are not the only options, just a few suggestions from team members.

1. Contact Champion Shirts 858-566-3395 (talk to Vinny or Ralph) and set up a time to visit their shop and order the jacket. Things you’ll need:

a) Size

b) Name for front and back of jacket (and what font you’d like)

c) Check or other payment

2. Visit the Finance Office at school and pay $20 to join the Varsity Club

3. Take the receipt from the Finance Office and to Coach Wilson’s office to show him. He will give you the large SR letter for the jacket.

4. Additional patches are usually available for purchase at invitationals, league finals, sectionals, state meets, and other competitions. Other participation patches and CIF-specific patches can also be ordered through the CIF San Diego Section site: https://cif-sds.square.site/

5. The Scholar Athlete patch is given for athletes (Juniors and Seniors only) with a GPA of 3.0 and higher. Coach Wilson will give this to you.

6. Varsity “bars” can be added to your jacket starting your second year on Varsity (so, no bar is given for your first season, but one bar is given for each subsequent season you make Varsity for each sport)

7. Champion will have the sport-specific patches and the graduating year patch they can give to you.

8. Once you receive your embroidered jacket, gather up all of the patches and have them sewn on the jacket. Bobi’s Tailoring on Mira Mesa Blvd. (across the street from Denny’s) does this for many SRHS jackets and they know where to place many of the patches.
