Best Running Season of All Time per Grade (Seasonal Award)

To track the all-time best running performance for a grade level across fall and spring running seasons, you can compare the total running miles achieved by each grade level in the current season to the best total miles ever recorded for that grade level in fall and spring season.

Here’s how it works, step by step:

Historical Benchmark: For each grade level (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), keep a record of the highest total miles achieved in a fall as well as spring season from past seasons. This becomes the "all-time best season" for that grade level.
Current Season Tracking: As the current season progresses, track the total miles run by each grade level.
Comparison: At the end of the season compare the total miles for each grade level from the current season to the all-time best season total for that grade level. Compare Fall season to fall and spring to spring season
Recognition: If a grade level surpasses its all-time best season total, this becomes the new record for that grade level. Celebrate this achievement to encourage participation and motivation.

Example:

All-Time Best Season (3rd Grade): 1,200 miles (from Spring 2023)
Current Season (Fall 2024): 1,250 miles

Let' s see if your grade level can be the best of all time!
