I ran sub 4 when I was 19. Unfortunately, I was a sophomore in college and got beat by about 6 guys.
The 10th "all time" US junior mile performance is 3:59.1 by Roscoe Divine. So Maton is very close to top 10 all time US junior. A star can also be put next to his name saying (HS senior), since it is more difficult to achieve that in HS, given that he is not training with the likes of Jenkins, Ches... day after day.
3:59.3 is a very good mile performance for a junior. No, there are not dozen of US junior guys that achieve that every year (only a dozen or so have achieved that ever).
I have to assume that "I feel cheated" didn't achieve a sub 3:59.3 performance as a junior. Therefore, he should not feel too cheated.
