* Cherry Creek's Parker Wolfe on his big weekend at the Heritage Distance Classic

- - -

Jackson Danner was the sweeping winner of the Week 3 poll.

The Huntsville (AL) High School senior, who led the Crimson Panthers to a dominating win at the Black & Gold Classic and scored a 5K PR of 15:29.72 in the process on Aug. 29, received over 81-percent of the vote and just a hair over 600 tallies.

This past week, Danner once again was his team's No. 1, helping Huntsville to a major win at the Chicksaw Invitational as he posted a top 10 finish.

So a big congrats goes out to Danner on the honor.

Now let's move on to Week 4 of the National Performer of the Week (we skipped the Labor Day holiday).

We'll have seven candidates in this week's poll. Voting will end Friday, and we'll recognize the winner every Monday during the unveiling of the newest poll.
