For the first time this year, an athlete repeated as National Performer of The Week.

The Ventura (CA) superstar Sadie Engelhardt shocked the running community yet again, taking down the high school national outdoor mile national record at the 64th Annual Mt. SAC Relays, running her way to a new best of 4:31.72.

The middle-distance standout and NC State recruit rewrote the record books and now sits at the top of the all-time list -- the nearest athlete is almost two-full seconds behind her.

For her effort, Engelhardt garnered over 70-percent of the voting during Week 15 of the National Performer of the Week Poll.

Per usual, here is a new bunch 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!
