=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(MAX(B1:B10),B1:B10,0))

=IF(B1=(LARGE($B$1:$B$10,{1})),B1,"") based on the formula to the left i am
able to identify the highest scoring person. However, now i want to display
that person's name a separate cell on top of the sheet.... so, i need a
function that looks at column C1:C10 and returns "Sue"

Or instead of having to do the formula above... have a funtions that looks
at the data and returns "Sue"

Thank you in advance for your help!

The easiest way would be to use autofilter, then from the dropdown select
top 10, adjust it to top 1 and all max values will be displayed
