A: You have to score points individually in track meets for the team. Every place earns a certain amount of points. First place is 10 points, second place is six points, third is three and fourth is zero. So, scoring the top three of your events gets you points for your varsity letter and towards the team’s meet score. If you get 15 varsity points then you can letter.
