Misreported awards/honors on application

Yikes! So after submitting my Common App + supplement online, I’ve found yet another mistake (I already emailed admissions offices about the first mistake.)

In my additional info section, I attached a page of additional awards/honors. For DECA competitions, I accidentally wrote:

REGIONAL
Event A - 1st place
Event B - 2nd place

STATE
Event A - 1st place
Event B - 1st place

However, I meant to say the reverse (Regional was both 1st places; State was 1st and 2nd place for A and B respectively.)

Would you recommend emailing the admissions committee to correct this mistake? I’ve already emailed them to fix a previous mistake that I found (see: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1408981-small-error-submitted-application-worth-emailing.html), so I’m scared that I’ll come off as annoying or wasting their time.

Please advise! Thank you!
