Times list top 15

[sharpie23]

Here is my problem. I got some help before, but it isn't working.

I have a database with kids' times for each course that we run. Each
year they may run a course several times. The information I have in
the file on them is Name, Grade, Course, RunTime, RunYear, Male/
Female.

I am trying to get a list of all of the top 15 times in a particular
course.


But since there are multiple entries for a kid on each course, I get
the following

SAvannah 2006 17:30
Savannah 2005 17:32
Savannah 2006 17:45
Stepahanie 2007 17:48
Kristina 2007 18:01
Stepahnie 2006 18:03

But what I want is just:

Savannah 2006 17:30
Stephanie 2007 17:48
Kristina 2006 18:03

How do I get it to do this...only taking the best time for each
person.
Whenever I use a "total" query as was suggested before it pairs kids
with times that are not their times.

Please be as detailed as you can on your responses.

Thanks in advance!

Use these two queries ---
Sharpie_Min_RunTime ---
SELECT Sharpie.Name, Min(Sharpie.RunTime) AS MinOfRunTime
FROM Sharpie
GROUP BY Sharpie.Name;

SELECT Sharpie.Name, Sharpie.Grade, Sharpie.Course, Sharpie.RunTime,
Sharpie.RunYear, Sharpie.[Male/Female]
FROM Sharpie INNER JOIN Sharpie_Min_RunTime ON (Sharpie.RunTime =
Sharpie_Min_RunTime.MinOfRunTime) AND (Sharpie.Name =
Sharpie_Min_RunTime.Name);

It could be done in one query if you know subqueries.
