Fresh off a brilliant performance at the Eastbay South Regional on Nov. 27, Denmark's Ethan Ashley claimed another big reward.

The Georgia Class 7A state champion notched his first National Boys Performer of the Week presented by New Balance award, registering just over 35-percent of the vote.

Ashley managed to slip past second-place Daniel Appleford of Newbury Park, who finished in second with 30-percent of the tallie.

Ashley clocked a career best time of 15:00.31 at the South Regional to win the overall title and book his ticket to the Eastbay Cross Country Championships on Dec. 11 in San Diego.

A big congrats goes out to Ashley and all the other nominees.

Now let's move on to Week 17 of the NPOTW XC poll. This will be our second-to-last vote of the 2021 calendar year.

Make sure you vote for whom you think should win this week's honor. 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!

Vote below in the poll and let us know your thoughts in the comments. You can also vote in our National Girls Performer of the Week poll.
