Senior Alex Boyko joined a long and illustrious list of Cinnaminson runners to win Shore Coaches titles when he crossed the line first Saturday in the Group D race at Holmdel County Park.
Boyko ran 16:25 in cold and rainy conditions and led three Cinnaminson runners in the top 10. Senior Matt McCarron was 2nd in 16:41 and senior Patrick Storti 7th in 17:38.
Boyko and McCarron are the first South Jersey teammates to go 1-2 in a Shore Coaches race in eight years, since Luke Petela and Owen Long of Haddon Township finished 1st and 2nd in the Group F race in 2014
Boyko joins Bill Mason [Group E in 1998], Jon Anderson [Group E in 2002], Mike Ungvarsky [Group D in 2015, Group E in 2016] and Austin Gabay [Group A in 2018 and 2019] as Cinnaminson Shore Coaches winners.
Bernards edged Cinnaminson 67-78 to win the Group E team title.
Lower Cape May senior Jack Cura [3rd in 17:30] and Cedar Creek junior Matt Winterbottom [5th in 17:31] also finished in the top 10.
