Langon’s Final Race and Pro Debut

Marco Langon capped his collegiate career with a gritty fourth-place finish in the 5,000m final at the NCAA Championships, clocking 13:42.77 — his second All-American honor. Though he briefly led with 500m to go, the race’s unpredictable pace and physical toll left him feeling his worst in two years. Now turning pro, Langon plans to sign soon and relocate to Boston, blending his college coaches Marcus O’Sullivan and Matt Valeriani with his high school mentor Rob DeFillipis for a well-rounded training approach. Already spotted in Diadora gear, he’s aiming to build a legacy defined by raw talent and relentless work ethic. His pro debut? The two-mile at the Prefontaine Classic on July 3rd in Eugene — facing off against American record holder Grant Fisher. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
