Winning by a landslide, London Jackson Bray is our National Performer of the Week winner for Week 15.

The junior from Katy High School (TX) got it done at her UIL Area meet, competing in both the 100m and 200m.

Bray took the victory in the 100m, where she put down a wind-legal mark of 11.31.

This moves the junior up to the current U.S. No. 2 mark for the event. Bray also ran a 23.87 wind-legal 200m, moving her up to U.S. No. 21 in the event and rounded out a solid weekend at the UIL District 19-6A & 20-6A Area Meet

For her effort, Bray garnered over 1,400 votes, gaining over 52-percent of the voting during Week 14 of the National Performer of the Week Poll.

Per usual, here is a new slate of athletes for this week's National Performer of the Week Poll. 

Just like last week, voting will close on Friday at 12:00 p.m. 

With that being said, have fun voting!
