Jayden Horton-Mims had a stellar end to his indoor campaign last weekend, winning double-gold in the 400m and the 4x400m at Nike Indoor Nationals.

The Imhotep Charter junior clocked 46.85 in the open 400m before anchoring his 4x400m squad to a title as well. He also finished runner-up in the 200m, making for three stunning performances.

Winners of our indoor NPOTW program will receive a Firefly Recovery starter kit from our presenting sponsor. For athletes interested in Firefly Recovery, you can also use promo code MILESPLIT to receive 15-percent off any Firefly Recovery Starter kit purchase.

With that being said, have fun voting!

Christian Miller, Creekside (FL): One of the nation's top returning sprinters got off to a hot start over the weekend, making his outdoor debut in the 200m. Miller opened up his senior campaign in a nation-leading 20.51; it was the fastest mark ran indoors or outdoors this season. The future Georgia Bulldog is set for a monster outdoor season.

Cooper Lutkenhaus, Justin Northwest (TX): Lutkenhaus stole the show over the weekend at the Texas Distance Festival, winning in 1:50.8. And he's just a freshman. Lutkenhaus moved up to No. 3 in the freshman record books, trailing only Brandon Miller and Cas Loxsom. However, he passed a few two-lap legends on the list, including Michael Granville and Cade Flatt, No. 1 and No.2 all-time in the distance.

Ibzan Felix, Arnold O. Beckman (CA): Make that four straight season-best performances for Felix, with his most recent coming from his huge win at The TEN's 1600m Invite. Felix clocked the fastest time in the state, crossing in 4:08.12. Felix is now one of just two athletes under 4:10 in all of California, and sits No. 5 in the nation right now.

Jordan Randall, Warsaw Community (IN): Is there a better way to end the indoor season than by clearing 7-0 for the first time? Randall ended his sophomore indoor campaign on a high note (literally), becoming just the 12th ever Indiana high schooler to soar that high above the bar. It ties him for the second-highest clearance by a sophomore in high school history. We'll see what the outdoor season brings for one of the country's top up-and-coming jumpers.

Elijah Thomas, Grayson (GA): Over his last three races, Thomas has gone from 50.26 in the 400m, all the way down to a 46.8, and it's not even April. Thomas coasted around the track at Huey Magoo's Running with the Devils Invite on his own, winning by 2.5 seconds. This was the No. 2 time ran this outdoor season, and the top time in the state of Georgia this year.

Paul Migas, Lake Villa (IL): One of the nation's top pole vaulters finished his indoor season with a national win at adidas Track Nationals with a clearance of 5.22 meters, which measures out to 17 feet, 1.5 inches.

Rickey Williams, Camden County (GA): He picked up two wins over the weekend and two indoor PRs, clocking times of 21.51 in the 200m (to win the National Elite final) and 47.57 in the 400m, winning the championship section.
