It's time to vote for the Missouri Boys Performer Of The Week! This is the 3rd poll for the 2024 season.
Congrats to last week's winner, Darius Graham from Poplar Bluff. At the Bob Sink Invitational on Thursday in Jackson, he swept the jumping events by taking first in the high jump (6 feet, 10 inches/2.08m), the long jump (22 feet, 1/2 inch/6.71m) and the triple jump (43 feet, 1 3/4 inches/13.15m).
Graham had more than 63% of the votes.
