Event Preview
Jaden Marchan of Leonia is the obvious favorite in the 2-lapper. The senior is the state leader at 47.64, which is US No. 9, and is the only runner in the state to go under 49.00 this season.
The meet record of 47.35 set last year by Xavier Donaldson of Seton Hall Prep is well within Marchan's reach.
Can anyone upset Marchan?
While the chances are very slim, there is always a chance.
If Marchan is off his game, the runners with best chances to spring the upset are Group 4 and Eastern States champion Shakur Taylor of East Orange Campus (49.01), and Group 1 winner Ryan Trocolar of Pequannock (49.16).
