Angelina Perez, Marco Langon Shine at New Balance Shore Coaches InvitationalPublished by
New Jersey's Best Gather For Big Meet At Holmdel Park By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor Marco Langon of Bridgewater-Raritan made an impressive showing at the New Balance Shore Coaches Invitational on Saturday at Holmdel Park, where he moved to No. 16 on the all-time course list with 15:30 on the hilly 5,000-meter layout in the Varsity A race. The performance marks another step on his trajectory after a big step forward last spring when he ran 9:03.05 for 3,200 meters and 4:09.47 for 1,600. The state's top runner, Jackson Barna of Ridge, was in the Varsity B race but suffered a twisted ankle and did not finish. US#8 Ridge managed to win the team competition in the Varsity B race without Barna, but it was close. Ridge scored 84 points and North Hunterdon was next with 86.

Her winning time was just shy of her Holmdel best, 17:36 from last year, which stands as the fifth-fastest in Holmdel Park history.
Perez also led Lakeland to the top team performance of the day with 43 points and a top-five average of 19:59.2.
