Holy smokes!!!
Marco Langon threw down one of the greatest performances in NJ history at Sunday's Grand Prix Meet at Ocean Breeze on Staten Island.
The Villanova-bound star from Bridgewater-Raritan blasted a 4:07.18 to place second in the boys' Junior Mile to move all the up to No. 3 all-time in NJ indoor history, and No. 4 in the nation this season!
Langon, coming off one of the best cross-country seasons in state history where he won the Meet of Champions title and earned All-American, finished behind Stanford recruit Gavin Sherry of Conrad High in Connecticut, who finished first in a US No. 2 4:05.10.
The only New Jersey runners to go faster in the mile indoors than Langon are Edward Cheserek of St. Benedict's Prep, who ran 4:02.21 at the 2012 New Balance Games at the NY Armory, and Vince Cartier of Scotch Plains-Fanwood, who won the mile at the 1972 Meet of Champions at Princeton's Jadwin Gym in 4:06.6.
Can Langon make a run at Cheserek's state record?
Time will tell.
