While state championship races are almost done -- outside of California's CIF Championships, New Jersey's Meet of Champions and Massachusetts' All State Finals -- Nike Cross Regional races are just heating up.
This week's National Performer of the Week nominees will toggle between championship winners.
But before we take a look at this week's candidates, let's take a look back on who earned that recognition last week.
Minneapolis Washburn's Emily Covert has been on a tear for much of the season, and that continued at the MSHSL Class AA Championships, where the senior scored a course record in 17:03.40.
The Colorado commit earned 51-percent of the vote to win the weekly honor.
A big congrats goes out to NPOTW 2-time winner Emily!
Now on to this week's candidates. Who do you think had the top performances nationally? Vote in the poll below and let us know your thoughts in the comments?
