It wasn't much of a question.

Governor Livingston (NJ) sophomore Victoria Vanriele earned National Performer of the Week honors this past voting window for her impressive 800m time of 2:06.68 at the New Jersey Meet of Champions.

Vanriele has been crushing it all season, but her season and career best time earned her over 83-percent of the vote, tallying 572 votes in total.

A big congrats goes out to Victoria -- who recently finished third in the 800m at NBNO this weekend in 2:05.99.

Now on to this week's candidates, our last National Performer of the Week honorees to finish out the spring season:
