Marshall Winkky of Horseheads, Gabe Thompson of Maine-Endwell and D.J. Neer of Johnson City have earned USA Lacrosse All-America recognition for their play during the 2023 boys lacrosse season.

All three are seniors. Thompson and Neer are midfielders and Winkky, whose brother Parker was an All-American for Horseheads two years ago, is a defenseman.

Three academic All-Americans from Section 4 were also chosen: Elmira senior defender Shane Heifferon, Corning senior midfielder Kale Lillico and Elmira Notre Dame senior defender Stephen D'Ortona.

Coach of the Year honors for Section 4 went to Ithaca's Clay Fickenscher. Johnson City's Chase Harrington was named Assistant Coach of the Year.

David Streeten was named Person of the Year for Section 4 Lacrosse. Streeten, son of legendary Corning coach Bob Streeten, died in Texas on April 3 at age 38. He suffered a life-threatening brain injury after a fall from a gorge in 2004 and his comeback was a source of inspiration for many. David Streeten was a highly regarded lacrosse coach in Allen, Texas.

Those selections were announced in conjunction with selection of Section 4 all-star teams by the coaches.
