It's time for our first National Performer of the Week presented by Firefly Recovery.
We're just six days into the new year, but national-best times have already begun dropping on the regular every week.
This time out, we had a wide selection of athletes to choose from, whether it was the returning national champion Brianna Selby, who began her indoor campaign with a flourish, or Saratoga Spring's top distance runner, Emily Bush, who ran away from the field in the 3K at the Ocean Breeze Freedom Games.
We will have five nominees a week.
Voting will end on Friday at 12:00 p.m. Each new poll will will provide a fresh dish of nominees.
Winners of our indoor NPOTW program will receive Firefly Recovery gear and a Track Barn back pack. Email us at signings@milesplit.com with your address.
With that being said, have fun voting!
