Default Average OLC flown distance by glider

How about Bill Snead doing 841 km in his PW-5 on a straight out from near Austin, TX to Hugoton, KS. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=445970755

Coming down the pipeline:

I'm eager to see what the most successful pilots has done in one of the most reviled gliders (PW-5). I'd also like to see the longest flight in each year as this glider has fallen out of grace, and whether less successful pilots are flying it every year. Or maybe the average and longest flights will stay constant over time?
