After a solid performance last weekend, a New York athlete won her second National Girls Performer Of the Week poll presented by New Balance.

Karrie Baloga lined up to face stiff competition at the New York Federation Championships. The junior added another victory to her resume as she crossed the finish line in 17:54.70 against a handful of New York's best.

She was able to edge out competitors who finished before her at the New York State Championships, just a week earlier. When Baloga won this title, she earned a 150 speed rating for her efforts.

Baloga was able to accumulate 44-percent of the votes to be named this week's National Performer Of The Week presented by New Balance.

Let's move on to week 16 of the cross country season National Performer of the Week presented by New Balance poll.

Vote for whom you think should win this week's national honor following this most recent week of action. Voting will end Friday, and we'll recognize the winner every Monday during the unveiling of the newest poll. Better yet, each boy and girl winner will win a pair of New Balance shoes.

We are requesting winners (or their parents or coaches) from each week to email Cory Mull at cory.mull@flosports.tv and Olivia Ekpone at olivia.ekpone@flosports.tv to notify us of your contact.

For NPOTW winners dating all the way back to July 12, we haven't forgotten about you! We have kept track of your information and will email you once the New Balance order goes out. Stay tuned!
