Late season meets have produced stellar showings as athletes chase titles and gear up for national championship meets now only days away.

Monroe-Woodbury's (NY) Collin Gilstrap did just that at the NY Federation Championships on Nov. 19.

Behind a winning performance at the championships where he clocked 15:51.3 for 5k and a 191 speed rating, Gilstrap took home National Boys Performer Of The Week in the 12th poll of the season. The senior earned 76-percent of the vote to run away with the poll win.

That Federation Championship tune-up proved rewarding, as Gilstrap would later go on to qualify for Team Nationals by placing second at the New York regional on Nov. 26.

Now, in the final week before the beginning of the long-anticipated nationals competition, athletes logged impressive performances to secure their trips to national championships.

Vote below for your National Boys Performer Of The Week for meets contested from Nov. 21 - 27.
