In this study, I created a student performance grid in which there are several indicators that will determine student scores. The KKM value for learning sprint distance running is obtained with several assessment criteria, namely mastery of movement techniques, enthusiasm and harmony in practicing sprint running, while for the aspects assessed, namely starting attitude, body posture when running, arm swing, body posture at the finish and grades. achievement (time).  To get a score above the KKM, in the learning process the teacher must be able to maximize the factors that support the achievement of the learning.
