Joslyn Hamilton, a senior from Rolesville High School (NC), is our National Performer of the Week Presented by Firefly winner for Week 10.
The University of South Carolina signee took down the U.S. No. 1 athlete last weekend in the 60 meter hurdles at Nike Indoor Nationals
Facing off against Aleesa Samuel, Hamilton took the race with a lean at the line in a new U.S. No. 1 time of 8.21 seconds. She did it without her signature sunglasses either, saying afterward, "I came here to focus."

The future North Carolina State recruit took down a stacked pro field in the 1,500m, surging in the last 100m to win in a blazing 4:09.70. Also landing her at a new U.S. No. 1 and at the No. 6 all-time position for the event.
Sole Frederick, Druid Hills (GA): The University of Georgia signee raced her way to two new U.S. No. 1 marks over the weekend. Competing at the Christian Coleman Invitational, Frederick ran new personal bests of 11.43 in the 100m and 23.27 in the 200m. Both marks were wind legal, placing the sprinter at the top of the rankings yet again.
Brett Jones, Porter Gaud (SC): The junior thrower came out on top over the weekend at the The Wood Mixed Relays in Dorchester, South Carolina.
