Mia Hoffmann, the 3rd place finisher in both the MSHSL State Cross Country Championships 5K last fall and the MSHSL State Outdoors 3,200m this past June, collected this week's NPOTW.
Hoffmann, a Bemidji Senior, was the only girl to perform under 18-minutes for the 5K at Moorhead Dragon Twilight in Minnesota last weekend. Running a personal best of 17:27 with an 82-second lead, she earned a 137 speed rating.
During the week, Hoffmann earned 29-percent of the votes and was named this week's National Girls Performer Of The Week.
It's time to vote for this week's NPOTW. The poll will end on Friday and the winner will be announced next Monday.
Here are the nominations for the National Girls Performer Of The Week:
