After a weekend full of not one but two national records for the young Bullis star Quincy Wilson, the freshman got to add another accolade to his haul -- the National Boys Performer Of The Week award.
Behind a historic performance at the U.S. Army Officials Hall Of Fame Invitational last week that saw him clock two freshman class all-time bests of 34.11 in the 300m and 1:02.63 in the 500m, Wilson came away with the weekly performer award in the eighth poll of the indoor season.
Wilson took home 80-percent of the votes to earn the first weekly performer honor of his high school career.
Now on our ninth poll of the season, the latest nominated athletes posted some all-time marks in their respective events and moved up the national event leaderboards over the past week of action on the indoor oval.
Below, vote for your National Boys Performer Of The Week from meets held Jan. 23 - 29.
