Another Ohio runner took top honors last week, winning our National Performer of the Week award for the period of September 16 through September 22nd.

And it was well deserved. Defiance's Mhalicki Bronson had an incredible close in the final moments of the MSU Spartan Invitational, winning the race in 15:37.50 to secure the biggest win of his career.

A big kudos goes out to Mhalicki on the win.

Now let's move on to Week 3 of our National Boys Performer of the Week poll. This week's voting will cover efforts from September 9th through September 15th.

Vote for whom you think should win this week's national honor following a big week of action. Voting will end Friday, and we'll recognize the winner every Monday during the unveiling of the newest poll.

Below we have eight boys nominees for this week's top honor. Vote below in the poll and let us know your thoughts in the comments. For reference, check out our Top 250 Performances of the Week. You can also vote in the National Girls Performer of the Week poll.
