An emphatic finish to the club track and field season at the AAU Junior Olympic Games last week saw an equally impressive end to the season's National Performer of the Week presented by New Balance poll. 

A total of 12,000 votes were registered for this past week's weekly accounting of the top athletes. And in the end, it came down to two youth athletes, 10-year-old Omar Thomas and 13-year-old Brayden Robinson. 

Between the two, there were five AAU Junior Olympic Games titles won and a handful of new national records. 

But the speedster from Florida pulled away late, securing just over 51-percent of the poll and 6,425 votes to win the weekly award. 

Thomas was coming off blistering performances of 25.25 seconds in the 200m for the 10-year-old category, along with a time of 55.74 seconds in the 400m. Both were new national records. 

Robinson finished with just less than 5,500 votes. A big congrats goes out to Thomas, and all the other nominees from this last week of action on the track. 

Let's move on to Week 1 of the XC poll.
