I put inaccurate information on my common app. Should I email every college?

Hello! In my awards section on my common application, I accidentally stated I won 6th place at the National History Day contest (state), when I actually won 5th place. Is this something that I should email every college to have changed? Would it look bad if I did email them? It would be about 18 colleges.

Thank you!
