National Girls Performer Of The Week Presented By Firefly

After running a new U.S. No. 1 in the 2K steeplechase -- and earning the No. 25 spot on the all-time list -- Staucie Lees, a Conroe Grand Oaks (TX) senior, came out on top as this week's National Performer Of The Week.

The Texas A&M recruit was able to cover the distance in 6:43.60 at the Sam Mosley Relays on February 24. She also ran a U.S. top 20 mark in the 1,600m, clocking a time of 4:56.80.

For her effort, she garnered 45-percent of the voting during Week 7 of the National Performer of the Week presented by Firefly poll.

With a weekend filled with fast-times and records being broken, we have five new deserving nominees on this weeks poll. Let's just say Texas dominated the national rankings this past weekend. 

Just like last week, voting will close on Friday at 12:00 p.m. Winners of our NPOTW program will receive a Firefly Recovery starter kit from our presenting sponsor. 

THIS WEEK'S NOMINEES

---

Celeste Robinson, Houston Cypress Ranch (TX): The junior from Texas had an outstanding weekend in College Station at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Invitational, taking first in the 100m dash with a wind legal U.S. No. 1 of 11.49. She also placed second in the 200m with a U.S. No. 3 mark of 23.56. 

Yierra Flemings, Cameron Yoe (TX): The senior from Cameron, Texas found herself with a new U.S. No. 1 mark in the 300m hurdles with a time of 40.74. She also took third in the long jump, but her mark of 19-2 is holding her at a U.S. No. 2 due to the first place jumper having a non-wind-legal mark. 

Ashley Lister, Duncanville (TX): Lister took second overall in the long jump at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Invitational, but now holds the U.S. No. 1 mark for a wind legal jump with her 19-7.5. The Duncanville junior also ran a U.S. No. 26 in the 400m with her 56.06. 

Lillian Harden, Bridgeland (TX): The Bridgeland senior was able to post two U.S. top 5 marks in her events this weekend in College Station, Texas.
