need some help..Comparison

I need some help which would probably be for most of you a simple script.

I need to read in the data from a .dat file and then compare avg to see who is the highest avg. Here is my script so far.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#reading in the data from lab3.dat
filename=$1
while read name o1 o2 o3 o4 o5 o6 o7 o8 o9 o10 ; do
avg=0
sum=0
#adding in the information for one person
#for (( k=0 ; k<20 ; k++ ))
(( sum=$o1+$o2+$o3+$o4+$o5+$o6+$o7+$o8+$o9+$o10 ))

#getting the avg from one person
(( avg=$(echo "scale=4 ; ($sum/10)" | bc) ))
sd=0
(( sd=$(echo "scale=8 ; sqrt((((($o1-$avg)^2+($o2-$avg)^2+($o3-$avg)^2+($o4-$avg)^2+($o5-$avg)^2)+($o6-$avg)^2+($o7-$avg)^2+($o8-$avg)^2+($o9-$avg)^2+($o10-$avg)^2)/10))" | bc) ))
echo $name $avg $sd
done < $filename

As you can see right now it will just display back the names, avg, and sd per person. I need the highest avg posted only. TIA!

NAME
Smokeping::matchers::Avgratio - detect changes in average median latency OVERVIEW
The Avgratio matcher establishes a historic average median latency over several measurement rounds. It compares this average, against a second average latency value again build over several rounds of measurement. DESCRIPTION
Call the matcher with the following sequence: type = matcher pattern = Avgratio(historic=>a,current=>b,comparator=>o,percentage=>p) historic The number of median values to use for building the 'historic' average. current The number of median values to use for building the 'current' average. comparator Which comparison operator should be used to compare current/historic with percentage. percentage Right hand side of the comparison. old <--- historic ---><--- current ---> now EXAMPLE
Take build the average median latency over 10 samples, use this to divide the current average latency built over 2 samples and check if it is bigger than 150%. Avgratio(historic=>10,current=>2,comparator=>'>',percentage=>150); avg(current)/avg(historic) > 150/100 This means the matcher will activate when the current latency average is more than 1.5 times the historic latency average established over the last 10 rounds of measurement.
