In 2003, 192 swept AVA at AZ, CA, SAC, SJ, WA, but only the wins at the two events they attended (AZ & SJ) show up if you seach by team. The individual event records show the 192 AVA awards at CA, SAC, and WA.

Those 2003 rules were quite strange, I admit. It was an interesting feeling winning our first animation trophy at an event we didn't attend.
Here are some quick records that I think are correct (not horribly in depth research):
Most consecutive years winning same award:
11 years (1999-2009)
254 - Regional Champion Award
Active streak, and I imagine it will grow. Corrected from previous data which I didn't even bother to check with my common sense, just blindly followed FIRST site without thinking, doh!
Most times winning single award in a season:
5
192- Autodesk Award for Visualization (2003)
Won Arizona, Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento, and Washington due to 2003 AVA rules where animations were submitted at an event each week in your general region.
Most different regionals won:
7
254- Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Hawai'i, Houston, Sacramento, San Jose, Pacific Northwest
*
67- Buckeye, Cass Tech
District, Kettering
District, Lansing
District, Michigan State Championship, Great Lakes, Midatlantic/New Jersey
Data gets a little choppy before 2001, so I may be missing some. Also, the district system in 2009 makes 67's status hard to define (do districts count and is GLR separate from the state championship?).
