It's time to vote for the Missouri Girls Performer Of The Week! This is the 8th edition for the 2024 track and field season -- with only two more left in the regular season.
Congrats to last week's winner, Tandee Hiser from Butler. She took home 42% of the votes to win. The freshman broke a school and conference record at the Ozark Highland Conference meet on April 29 with a jump of 3.75 meters/12-3 3/4 in the pole vault -- breaking the mark set by state champion Annalee Gardner. Hiser added fourths in the 200- and 400-meter dash and at the Class 2 District 7 meet she moved to sectionals in the 400 and pole vault.
Last week's Missouri standouts include some school records and other great performances!
