It's time to vote for the Missouri Girls Performer Of The Week!
Congrats to Makenzie Garr of St. Joseph Central for winning last week's poll with 58% of the votes. She broke her own school record in the shot put on all four of her throws -- the record is now 13.59 meters of 44 feet, 7 inches -- and they are the best distances in Class 5 this year and in the top 25 nationally.
This week's Missouri standouts include some school records and other great performances!
