The last couple of weeks for Robbinsdale Armstrong's (MN) Noah Breker have been quite the exciting whirlwind.

With the ramp-up of the college commitment season in full swing, the senior announced his long-awaited commitment to the Tar Heels of University of North Carolina early last week. 

But in the days prior to that announcement, Breker notched his fifth-straight win of the cross country season at Northwest Suburban Conference Championships with a time of 15:27.90 for 5k.

That performance on the cross country course earned Breker the National Boys Performer Of The Week nod for week seven, taking 45-percent of the vote.

Now, as state championship season begins to ramp up, who has your vote for week eight?

Vote below for your National Boys Performer Of The Week for meets contested Oct. 17- 23.
