Varsity Letter: A runner must meet one or more of the requirements to earn a varsity letter.
Equipment Requirements
Running Shoes - Running shoes have evolved over the years and now it is possible to purchase shoes that will protect your feet and prevent injury. With the mileage that we will be running, having running shoes that are specifically designed for distance running is a necessity.
I recommend KC Running Company: 1555 NE Douglas St, Lee’s Summit, MO They will record you running on a treadmill via an ipad and analyze your form and gait allowing them to select the best running shoe to keep you healthy. If you mention you run for Pleasant Hill they will also give you a 20% discount. Additionally, 10% of your purchase will also return to Pleasant Hill High School and be deposited into our activities account. Watch - We do most of our runs based on minutes instead of miles. As such, a watch with some type of timer is a requirement! Cheap watches can be purchased at Walmart or Target for around $10-15. A watch like the Timex Ironman 30 works really well with split functionality and runs between $30-40. Several athletes on our team have upgraded to high-tech GPS watches. These are recommended for serious runners looking to track all aspects of their running performance but are not required. My recommendation for GPS/Heart Rate Monitor watches is the Garmin Forerunner 230 which runs between $185-$215. 2019 Track Letter Requirements
