LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NOMINEES:

Chauncy Smart (Junior, Auburndale) - Smart had arguably the best sprint performance of the weekend winning the FSU Relays 100m dash in a wind-legal time of 10.55s which lead a loaded field of four guys under 10.9s. His time ranks as the 5th fastest in the country for 2016.

Braxton Canady (Senior, Paxon) - Canady competed in two meets over the weekend. On Friday, at the FSU Relays he ran the 110m hurdles and won easily with a time of 14.17. He improved by one one-hundredth of a second the following day at the UNF Spring Break Invitational where he went  FL#2 and US #19, 14.16s. The senior doubled up winning the 300mH in a FL#3 and US#19 time of 37.94.

Dominic Smith Jr. (Senior, Creekside) - Smith, a Samford signee, looked very solid in the boys 400m dash at the UNF Spring Break Invitational running 48.35 to get the win. Smith was the third at the 3A state championship in this event in 2015.

Quasan Markowski (Senior, Plant) - The last section of an event is supposed to be the best race right? Don't tell that to Plant's Quasan Markowski. Markowski clocked the fastest 800m time of the afternoon at the FSU Relays out of section three with a new PR and school record time of 1:55.40.

Justin Pacifico (Senior, Flagler Palm Coast) - The University of Florida signee showcased his speed in the boys 1,600m run making his move in the final lap to pass Lyman's Jordan Armstrong. Pacifico's time of 4:17.46 was a new personal best by almost three seconds as well as a new state leader.

Jordan Armstrong (Senior, Lyman) - Armstrong may not have won a race at the FSU Relays, but the Air Force signee PR'ed in both the 3,200m (9:13.55) run on Friday night and 1,600m (4:18.28) run on Saturday with two very impressive performances, and two runner-up finishes.

Noah Perkins (Senior, Seffner Christian) - Perkins sat behind the leaders for 6 of the 8 lap 3,200m and closed in 2:08 to win with nearly a 15 second personal best and state leading time of 9:08.54.

Bryson Kirksey (Freshman, Bolles) - In his fourth meet ever competing in the high jump, Kirksey cleared a personal best 6'9" to win the Episcopal Invitational. The Bolles freshman has the top mark in the class of 2019. The next four years should be exciting to see how high he can jump. Will he be the Sunshine State's next seven footer?

Jarez Parks (Junior, Sebastian River) - For the second straight week, Parks has put up very impressive numbers in both the shot put and discus. He won both events at the Bob Hayes Invitational and this weekend at the UNF Spring Break Invitational unleashed monster throws of 59'7" and 190'1". Both marks are state leaders for the two-sport standout who is one of the top junior prospects in the nation for football. The 190'1" discus throw currently ranks 10th in the United States for 2016.
