When you are preparing for a marathon there are three extrinsic rewards you are aiming for:

1) 1st place

2) Best time

3) Finish the race

31

2013 Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon

Christie Foster from Sierra Vista, AZ placed: • 1st for the women, and

• 6th place overall.

Her time was 2:44:41

Christie placed 1st for the women and 6th place overall.

Students’ growth compared to their academic peers across the state.

A criterion to measure against to gauge whether the growth achieved in one year is enough to reach a goal.

Growth Percentile

Growth TargetsWhat amount of sustained growth is necessary to reach a target?

How are you improving compared to peers?

Her goal time for this year’s race was 2:40. Her completion time was 2:44:41.

33

Christie’s goal* is to clock a time of 2:38 in the 2015 Marathon so she set benchmarks each year prior to prepare and train appropriately to reach her goal.

How close did she come to reaching

the 2013 benchmark goal of

2:40 (160 mins)?
