With the door shut on the cross country season, it's time to shift gears as we begin honoring top weekly performers for the indoor season.
In last week's poll, Cuthbertson (NC) senior Killian Fahy kicked it off for the indoor honors.
Fahy ran a two-second personal best in the 500m to win the event at the Liberty Flames High School Invitational, clocking 1:04.93. At the time, it also stood as a nation-leading mark at the distance, and currently ranks Fahy at No. 2 on the US leaderboards.
The UNC-Chapel Hill commit earned 56-percent of the vote to take home the performer award.
With indoor track and field now in full swing, who secures your vote this week after a slew of top performances?
Vote below for your National Boys Performer Of The Week from competitions held from Dec. 12 - 18.
